You can uninstall the IBM Spectrum® Protect Mac OS X
client if you no longer need it.

startup item, use the IBM
Spectrum Protect Tools for
Administrators function or the StopCad.sh shell script to stop and uninstall
the scheduler before you begin this procedure.
About this task
You can use a shell script to uninstall the backup-archive client. The shell script name is
uninstall.sh and it is in the default installation directory, which is
/Library/Application Support/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin. Use the
sudo command to run the script.
Alternately, you can complete the following steps instead of using the script:
Procedure
-
Move the following folders to the trash:
- /Applications/IBM Spectrum Protect
- /Library/Application Support/tivoli
-
Remove the following symbolic links:
- /usr/bin/dsmc
- /usr/bin/dsmcad
- /usr/bin/dsmadmc
- /usr/bin/dsmtrace
- /usr/bin/dsmagent
- /usr/lib/libxmlutil-6.2.0.dylib
- /usr/lib/libtsm620xerces-c1_6_0.dylib
- Optional:
Remove the log files and options files if you do not want to preserve them. The uninstall
process leaves them on disk so your settings are retained in case you reinstall the product
later.
The backup-archive client might have created log files in these locations:
- /Library/Logs/tivoli
- ~/Library/Logs/tivoli
The client option files (dsm.opt and dsm.sys) are
typically saved in the following locations:
- /Library/Preferences/Tivoli Storage Manager
- ~/Library/Preferences/Tivoli Storage Manager
