Mac OS X operating systems
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Version 7.1

Uninstalling the Tivoli Storage Manager Mac OS X client

You can uninstall the Tivoli® Storage Manager Mac OS X client if you no longer need it.

If the Tivoli Storage Manager scheduler is configured as a startup item, use the TSM Tools for Administrators function or the StopCad.sh shell script to stop and uninstall the scheduler before you begin this procedure.

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:

  1. Move the following folders to the trash:
    • /Applications/Tivoli Storage Manager
    • /Library/Application Support/tivoli
  2. Remove the following symbolic links:
    • /usr/bin/dsmc
    • /usr/bin/dsmtca
    • /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
  3. 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.

    Tivoli Storage Manager might have created log files in these locations:

    1. /Library/Logs/tivoli
    2. ~/Library/Logs/tivoli

    The Tivoli Storage Manager Option files (dsm.opt and dsm.sys) are typically saved in the following locations:

    1. /Library/Preferences/Tivoli Storage Manager
    2. ~/Library/Preferences/Tivoli Storage Manager
