Uninstalling the backup-archive client on Linux on Power Systems (Little Endian)

You can uninstall the IBM Spectrum Protect Linux on Power Systems (Little Endian).

Before you begin

You must be logged in as root user to uninstall the product. You must uninstall the packages in the order that is shown, otherwise the uninstallation fails.

Procedure

To uninstall the backup-archive client, enter the following commands to remove the packages for journal-based backup, the filepath component, the backup-archive client, the API, and the IBM Global Security Kit (GSKit).

Tip: The version number of the packages is not required.

To uninstall the journal-based backup components only, remove both packages (journal-based backup and filepath). The TIVsm-JBB package is dependent on the filepath package. If you use two separate rpm -e commands to uninstall the components one at a time, uninstall the TIVsm-JBB package first.
```
rpm -e TIVsm-JBB TIVsm-filepath
```
To remove the package that performs file-restore operations by using the web user interface, enter the following command:
```
rpm -e TIVsm-WEBGUI
```
Uninstall the backup-archive client package:
```
rpm -e TIVsm-BA
```
Uninstall the backup-archive client packages:
1. If you installed the client common inventory package (TIVsmBAcit), uninstall it:
```
rpm -e TIVsm-BAcit
```
2. Uninstall the backup-archive client package:
```
rpm -e TIVsm-BA
```
Uninstall products that are dependent on the API, such as IBM Spectrum Protect for Databases and IBM Spectrum Protect for Mail. Any API-dependent products must be uninstalled before you uninstall the API package. If you uninstall an API-dependent product, you must reinstall it after you install a newer version of the backup-archive client and API packages. Follow the instructions of the API-dependent products to determine what you need to do to prevent data loss when you uninstall and reinstall the products.
Uninstall the API package by using the following command:
```
rpm -e TIVsm-API64
```
Uninstall the API packages:
1. If you installed the API common inventory package (TIVsm-APIcit), uninstall it:
```
rpm -e TIVsm-APIcit
```
2. Uninstall the API package by using the following command:
```
rpm -e TIVsm-API64
```
Uninstall GSKit by entering the following command:
