Removing a software product
When you remove a software product, that product's files are removed from the system, and the Software Vital Product Data information is changed to indicate that the product is removed.
The remove process also attempts to restore the system's configuration to its previous state, although this is dependent on the product and might not always be complete. After a product is removed, no version of that product remains running on the system.
Use SMIT to remove software products. If you set the Remove dependent software? field to yes, any requisite software (software that is dependent on the product you are removing) is also removed, unless it is required by other software on your system.
- Removing a software product using SMIT:
- Type smit remove on the command line.
- Removing a software product from the command line:
- Use the
geninstall -ucommand to remove the product.
