You can use the following procedure to uninstall the IBM Spectrum® Protect
Linux® x86_64 client.
Before you begin
You must be logged in as root to uninstall the product. Uninstall the packages in the order
shown.
Procedure
To uninstall a previously installed IBM Spectrum Protect client package, enter the following commands to
remove the packages for the web user interface, journal-based backup, the filepath component, the
backup-archive client, the API, and the IBM®
Global Security Kit (GSKit).

backup and filepath). The TIVsm-JBB package depends on the filepath package. If
you use two separate rpm -e commands to uninstall the components one at a time,

before you remove the API package. Enter the following command, and replace
xx_xx

loss when you uninstall and reinstall the products.
