PMDF Installation Guide
Solaris Edition
PMDF-INST-SOL-6.0

Deinstallation of PMDF-TLS deletes only those files present in the distribution kit. In particular, deinstallation will not remove or alter files such as the PMDF configuration file, /pmdf/table/pmdf.cnf, and other such site-generated files, that may include references to PMDF-TLS features. Thus you will not need to reconfigure PMDF after deinstalling and reinstalling or upgrading. (If, however, you deinstall PMDF-TLS and do not reinstall or upgrade PMDF-TLS, then you will need to manually remove any PMDF-TLS references from your PMDF configuration files since without PMDF-TLS installed, PMDF will not be able to make use of PMDF-TLS facilities.)

3.5.1 Step-by-step deinstallation instructions

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

  # cd /
  

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

  # pkginfo | grep PMDF
  application PMDFbase       PMDF Base Product 
  application PMDFdoc        PMDF Documentation 
  application PMDFlan        PMDF LAN Product 
  application PMDFtls        PMDF TLS Product 
  

• Use the pkgrm command to deinstall any PMDF packages, e.g.:

  # pkgrm PMDFtls
  

  Note that multiple packages can be deinstalled at once by listing them separated by spaces on the pkgrm command line. Note also that PMDFbase must be the last package deinstalled (if listing multiple packages on one line, list PMDFbase last) since the other packages depend upon it. Further, note also that such layered product packages as PMDFtls and PMDFdoc cannot be used unless the PMDFbase package is installed.
