Uninstalling the Network Manager core components and Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus

You can uninstall Network Manager core components and Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus at the same time, if they are installed on the same server.

Before uninstalling Network Manager, remove the Network Manager reports and Cognos Analytics, as described in Removing reports.

To uninstall Network Manager and Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus, complete the following steps:
  1. Optional: If you installed as a non-root user and then ran create_all_control.sh -auto_only as a post-installation task to configure your Network Manager processes to start automatically on system start or restart, then run create_all_control.sh with the -deinstall option as the installing user to remove the startup scripts from the system.
  2. Stop the Network Manager core components for each domain using the following command: itnm_stop ncp -domain DOMAIN.
    For example, to stop the NCOMS domain, type: itnm_stop ncp -domain NCOMS
    Note: If you do not specify a domain name with the itnm_stop command, it stops the default domain created at installation.

    Ensure that all process starting with ncp_ have stopped before continuing. Stop any remaining Network Manager processes if necessary.

  3. Start IBM Installation Manager:
    1. Change to the directory where IBM Installation Manager is installed.
    2. Run the following command: 
      ./IBMIM
      IBM Installation Manager starts in wizard mode. To use command line, silent, console, or web browser mode, refer to the information on Managing installations with Installation Manager in the IBM Installation Manager documentation at: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSDV2W/im_family_welcome.html. Not all products and components support all installation modes.
  4. Click Uninstall.
  5. Select one or more of the following components to uninstall, and click Next:
    • IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus
    • Network Manager Core Components
  6. Review the summary information and click Uninstall.
The selected packages are uninstalled.
If you installed as a non-root user, some files and directories might still be present. A user with the appropriate permissions can remove these files manually. Do not remove any files if Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus or Probes are installed in the same location.
