You can uninstall FNCMCluster resources and components from your platform deployment from
the OpenShift Container Platform console.
About this task
If you installed the FileNet, to create an FNCMCluster then you can use the
OpenShift Container Platform user interface to uninstall it. Uninstalling and cleaning up the
cluster involves several separate high-level tasks.
- Uninstalling the FileNet deployment.
- Uninstalling the operators.
- Deleting PVCs and PVs not containing data.
- Deleting secrets.
- Deleting the FileNet project or namespace.
To uninstall the FileNet deployment, use the following steps.
Procedure
-
Log in to your OpenShift Container Platform or ROKS cluster.
- Click , and click the namespace that you used to install the FileNet
deployment.
-
Click , and then click the FNCM Deployment tab.
The name of the deployment is shown in the list of FNCMClusters.
-
To the right of the FNCMCluster name, click .
The action deletes the resources and the instance is no longer seen in the
FNCMCluster list.
Wait for all the pods in the FileNet namespace to be terminated, except the operator pods, before
you go to the next step.
- Optional:
If you want to uninstall the IBM FileNet Content Manager operator as
well, then click . To the right of the IBM FileNet Content Manager operator,
click .
The action deletes the operator and the instance is no longer seen in the Installed
Operators list.
Note: Deleting the FNCMCluster and uninstalling the FNCM operator does not delete the existing
PVs/PVC, or the databases that are used by the various components. Check the persisted data before
you delete the PVs/PVCs manually to make sure you no longer want to keep them. Likewise, if the data
no longer needs to be retained or reused you can delete the databases.
What to do next
If you now plan to install another instance of the FNCM operator, check if the dependencies like
Namespaces
and OperandRequests
are properly deleted.
If you do not plan to install another instance of the FileNet Content Manager, proceed with the
steps to clean up the FileNet Content Manager data. For more information about cleaning up your
data, see the topic Cleaning up FileNet Content
Manager.
