IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Version 7.1

Uninstalling the Tivoli Storage Manager Linux on Power client

You can use the following procedures to uninstall Tivoli® Storage Manager Linux on Power® client.

You must be logged in as root to perform this procedure. Uninstall the packages in the order shown.

To uninstall a previously installed Tivoli Storage Manager client package, enter the following commands to remove the packages for journal-based backup, the filepath component, the Backup-Archive Client, language packages, the API, and the IBM Global Security Kit (GSKit).

To uninstall the journal-based backup components only, remove both packages (journal-based backup and filepath). The TIVsm-JBB package is dependent on the filepath package. If you use two separate rpm -e commands to uninstall the components one at a time, uninstall the TIVsm-JBB package first.
```
rpm -e TIVsm-JBB TIVsm-filepath
```
Uninstall the Backup-Archive Client packages:
1. If you installed the optional TIVsmBAcit package, uninstall it before you uninstall the client package.
```
rpm -e TIVsm-BAcit
```
2. Uninstall Backup-Archive Client.
```
rpm -e TIVsm-BA
```
If language packages are installed, they must be removed before removing the API package. Enter the following command, and replace xx_xx with the language code for each additional language that you installed. For a list of language code identifiers, see Installing the Tivoli Storage Manager backup-archive client on Linux on Power Systems.
```
rpm -e TIVsm-BA.msg.xx_xx
```
Uninstall any products that are dependent on the API, such as Tivoli Storage Manager Data Protection products. Any API-dependent products must be uninstalled before you uninstall the API package. If you uninstall an API-dependent product, you must reinstall it after installing a newer version of the backup-archive client and API packages. Consult the documentation of the dependent product to determine what you need to do to prevent data loss when you uninstall and reinstall the products.
1. If you installed the optional API common inventory package (TIVsm-APIcit), uninstall it before you uninstall the API package. Use the following command to uninstall the package:
```
rpm -e TIVsm-APIcit
```
2. Uninstall the API package using the following command:
```
rpm -e TIVsm-API64
```
Uninstall GSKit by entering this command:
```
rpm -e gskcrypt64 gskssl64
```

Tip: The version number of the packages is not needed for uninstall.
