PMDF Installation Guide
Tru64 UNIX Edition
PMDF-INST-DUX-60

Deinstallation of PMDF deletes only those files present in the distribution kit. In particular, deinstallation will not remove files such as the PMDF configuration file, /pmdf/table/pmdf.cnf, and other such site-generated files, and thus you will not need to reconfigure PMDF after reinstalling.

1.8.1 Step-by-step deinstallation instructions

• Deinstallation should be done by superuser. If you are not already logged in as root, do so now.⁶
• Move to the root directory:

  # cd /
  

• Check what version of PMDF you currently have installed; e.g.,

  # setld -i | grep PMDF
  PMDFBASE520     installed       PMDF V5.2 Base Product 
  PMDFDOC520      installed       PMDF V5.2 Documentation 
  PMDFLAN520      installed       PMDF V5.2 LAN Product 
  

• Use the setld -d command to deinstall any PMDF subsets, e.g.:

  # setld -d PMDFLANnnn PMDFDOCnnn PMDFBASEnnn
  

  where nnn consists of the number (major and minor) of the PMDF release, (as shown by a setld -i command as in the previous step). Note that multiple subsets can be deinstalled at once by listing them separated by spaces on the setld command line; note also that the PMDFLAN and PMDFDOC subsets cannot be used unless the PMDFBASE subset is installed.

  Note

  ⁶ If you are deinstalling PMDF so that you can upgrade PMDF, then the listed steps are all that are necessary. However, if you are deinstalling PMDF permanently, and wish to restore native sendmail links, see the description of /pmdf/bin/symlink backout in Section 1.6 . Or if you are deinstalling permanently from a Trucluster slave node, see the description of /pmdf/bin/clu_pmdf_cleanup in Section 1.7 .
