Linux-UNIX: Installing and uninstalling S-TAP with AIX native installer

Before you begin

Verify all Linux-UNIX: S-TAP installation prerequisites.
Obtain the correct native installer file (.bff file), from either Fix Central, or your Guardium representative.

Obtain the IP address of the database server on which you are installing S-TAP. If virtual IPs are used, note those as well (you will need to configure those later, when completing the configuration).
Identify the IP address of the collector that will control this S-TAP, and to which this S-TAP will report and verify connectivity between the database server and the collector..
Copy the S-TAP installer to the local disk on the database server, typically to /tmp.
Enter the following command on a clean server (no previous S-TAP installation) to extract the shell installer for AIX®, substituting the appropriate file name with the appropriate .bff file:
```
installp -aX -d/var/tmp<filename> SqlGuardInstaller
Example:
installp -aX -d/var/tmp/guard-stap-guard-8.0.00rc1_r20934_1-aix-5.2-aix-powerpc.bff SqlGuardInstaller 
```
The shell installer that is extracted, named guardium, is under /usr/local.
Continue with running the interactive installer of the installation procedure, running the generated installation script rather than the default installation script for the operating system version.

To remove AIX S-TAP using the native installer:

/usr/lib/instl/sm_inst installp_cmd -u -f 'filename'

Example

/usr/lib/instl/sm_inst installp_cmd -u -f'SqlGuardInstaller'
