Manually uninstalling Rational Directory Server's IBM Tivoli Directory Server components on Linux/Solaris

Question & Answer


Question

How do I manually uninstall Rational Directory Server's IBM Tivoli Directory Server components from my Linux installation?

Cause

This should only be necessary if the file system uninstallers were deleted or became unusable

Answer

Rational Directory Server comprises IBM Tivoli Directory Server which installs the components

DB2; C Client; Java Client; Server; GSKit v7.

If the need to uninstall Rational Directory Server completely arises, then refer to the IBM Rational Directory Server Installation Guide.

If uninstalling is not possible, as documented, due to directories no longer existing, then any attempt to reinstall the IBM Tivoli Directory Server will fail. The installation will detect the aforementioned components will already be detected as installed.

To manually uninstall the components you will need to login as the superuser root and then run:



Linux:

    rpm -qa | grep -i "ids\|gsk"



Solaris:

   
  pkginfo | grep ids

   pkginfo | grep gsk
 

this should return for Linux:



    idsldap-srv32bit62-6.2.0-0

    idsldap-cltjava62-6.2.0-0

    gsk7bas-7.0-3.31

    idsldap-msg62-en-6.2.0-0

    idsldap-cltbase62-6.2.0-0

    idsldap-srvbase32bit62-6.2.0-0

    idsldap-clt32bit62-6.2.0-0

    idsldap-webadmin62-6.2.0-0

    idsldap-clt64bit62-6.2.0-0



For Solaris:


    application gsk7bas   Certificate and SSL Base Runtime (gsk7bas)

    application gsk7bas64 Certificate and SSL Base Runtime (gsk7bas64)

    application IDSl64c62 IBM Directory Server - 64 bit Client

    application IDSl64s62 IBM Directory Server - 64 bit Server

    application IDSlbc62  IBM Directory Server - Base Client

    application IDSlbs62  IBM Directory Server - Base Server

    application IDSlen62  IBM Directory Server - Messages - U.S.

    English(en)application IDSljc62 IBM Directory Server - Java Client



To remove each one run:

    rpm -e --nodeps --noscripts < package >


Once the six packages have been removed, then manually delete the remaining directory references to /opt/ibm; /opt/IBM; /var/IBM; /opt/tivoli; and especially /var/IBM/Rational, or /opt/IBM/Rational, depending on the installation path of Rational Directory Server, before re-installing.
