Uninstalling the mount proxy feature on Linux systems

If you no longer need to run file restore operations on Linux guest virtual machines (VMs), you can uninstall the mount proxy feature on the Linux mount proxy system.

Before you begin

Run the uninstallation process as the root user. The root user profile must be sourced. If you use the su command to switch to root, use the su - command to source the root profile.

About this task

By default, when you uninstall the Linux mount proxy feature, the type of uninstallation that occurs is the same process as the type of original installation. To use a different uninstallation process, specify the correct parameter. For example, if you used a silent installation process, you can use the installation wizard to uninstall by specifying the –i swing parameter.

Procedure

To remove the Linux mount proxy feature, complete the following steps:

  1. Change to the directory that contains the uninstallation program. For example, issue the following command to change to the default lotion of the uninstallation program:
    cd /opt/tivoli/tsm/DPHyperV/_uninst/DPHyperV
  2. Depending on the type of installation, use one of the following methods to uninstall the Linux mount proxy:
    • To use the installation wizard to uninstall the Linux mount proxy, issue the following command:
      ./Uninstall_Data_Protection_for_Hyper-V –I swing
    • To use the console to uninstall the Linux mount proxy, issue the following command:
      ./Uninstall_Data_Protection_for_Hyper-V -i console
    • To silently uninstall the Linux mount proxy, issue the following command:
      ./Uninstall_Data_Protection_for_Hyper-V -i silent
