Use the centralized installation manager to uninstall a previously
installed package from remote workstations.
Before you begin
The wizard prompts you to select an authentication method: user name
and password or Secure Shell (SSH) public/private key. If you choose to use
the SSH public/private key method, you must first create a pair of keys and
install the public keys on all the installation targets.
About this task
The number of steps for this task can vary depending on the type
of installation package that you choose to uninstall.
Procedure
- Access the wizard from the administrative console:
- Click System administration > Centralized Installation Manager
> Available installations.
- Select a package type and an installation package, and click Next.
Depending on the package type that you choose, you can also select to
uninstall features or maintenance packages that accompany the installation
package.
- Click Show uninstallation targets to populate the table
with a list of applicable target workstations from which to remove the selected
software package. After you select one or more uninstallation targets,
click Uninstall to start the wizard.
- Select an authentication method to access the installation target,
and click Next. You can choose to use the Secure Shell (SSH)
public/private key method or the user name and password method to authenticate.
- Provide the authentication settings, and click Next.
Depending on the authentication method that you choose in step 2, provide
the appropriate user name and password for one or more installation targets,
or provide the location of the SSH private key file and password on the deployment
manager.
If you choose to authenticate by using the user name and password
method, you can provide a common user name and password to access all of the
installation targets, or you can configure unique user names and passwords
for each target.
- Specify the installation location of each installation target,
and click Next.
The installation location is the remote
location of the installation target in which the packages are installed.
- Read the summary, and click Finish to submit the request
to the centralized installation manager for processing.
