Uninstalling in silent mode

You can uninstall IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager and its components on your Windows systems silently.

Procedure

  1. Edit the response file to add encrypted passwords to the relevant elements of the file. The sample response files are in the directory in which your installation package is located.

    You can use the IBM® Installation Manager utility to create encrypted passwords. For information about how to encrypt the password, see Encrypted password for response file elements.

  2. From the command prompt, go to the disk1 directory of your installation package. For example, download_path/disk1.
  3. Run the following command:
    silent_uninstallSKLM.bat IM_INSTALL_LOCATION WAS_INSTALL_LOCATION SKLM_INSTALL_HOME 
    

    IM_INSTALL_LOCATION - Installation Manager directory for IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager.

    WAS_INSTALL_LOCATION - WebSphere Application Server Liberty directory for IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager.

    SKLM_INSTALL_HOME - IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager installation directory.

    For example:
    silent_uninstallSKLM.bat "C:\Program Files\IBM\Installation Manager" 
    "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\Liberty" 
    "C:\Program Files\IBM\GKLMV421"

    After IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager uninstallation, if Db2 services are still running, manually uninstall Db2 and its components. For more information, see Uninstalling and removing DB2 for Windows.

    Verify the uninstallation summary and the log files that are at C:\ProgramData\IBM\InstallationManager\logs\sklmLogs\.

What to do next

Complete these tasks:
  • Remove the Db2 user (for example, KLMDB421). To do so:
    1. Ensure that the Db2 user is not being used by any other product or service.
    2. Follow the steps that are specific to the operating system to remove the user.
  • Delete the C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere directory, if it exists.
