Uninstalling in silent mode

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

Procedure

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.
From the terminal window, go to the disk1 directory of your installation package. For example, download_path/disk1.
Run the following command:
Linux
```
silent_uninstallSKLM_linux.sh IM_INSTALL_LOCATION WAS_INSTALL_LOCATION 
SKLM_INSTALL_HOME  
```
```
silent_uninstallSKLM_linux.sh /opt/IBM/InstallationManager /opt/IBM/WebSphere/Liberty 
/opt/IBM/GKLMV411 
```

silent_uninstallSKLM_AIX.sh IM_INSTALL_LOCATION WAS_INSTALL_LOCATION 
SKLM_INSTALL_HOME  
```
```
silent_uninstallSKLM_AIX.sh /opt/IBM/InstallationManager /opt/IBM/WebSphere/Liberty
