Removing non-OS agents remotely

You can remove non-OS agents through the Tivoli Enterprise Portal or from the command line.

You can also uninstall non-OS agents from the Tivoli Enterprise Portal by stopping the agent and removing its configuration settings. After you have removed the agent from the Tivoli Enterprise Portal, you can completely uninstall the agent from the managed system. When you remove an agent, it is removed from any managed system lists to which it is assigned, any situation or policy distribution lists it was on, and any custom Navigator view items to which it was assigned.

Removing using the Tivoli Enterprise Portal

To remove a non-OS agent using the GUI:

Open the Tivoli® Enterprise Portal.
In the Navigation tree, navigate to the computer from which you want to remove the agent.
Right-click the agent that you want to remove and select Remove.
Click Yes when you are asked to confirm the removal of the agent.
Click Yes when you are asked to confirm that you want to permanently uninstall the agent.

Removing through the command line

To remove non-OS agents from the command line, use the tacmd removeSystem command:

tacmd removeSystem -t product code -n Managed-OS

For example, to remove the Transaction Collector from ibm001 which uses a Linux OS agent:

./tacmd removeSystem -t TU -n ibm001:LZ

See the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Command Reference for the full syntax of this command, including parameter descriptions.

You can run the cinfo command (UNIX) or the kincinfo -i command (Windows) to list the product codes for agents installed on the current computer.
