6 Uninstalling Oracle Secure Backup

This chapter describes how to uninstall Oracle Secure Backup. The following topics are covered:

Uninstalling Oracle Secure Backup on Windows
Uninstalling Oracle Secure Backup on Linux or UNIX

6.1 Uninstalling Oracle Secure Backup on Windows

Complete the following steps to uninstall Oracle Secure Backup on Windows:

Open the Task Manager and click the Processes tab.
Select the obhttpd.exe image name and click End Process. This action stops the Apache Web server.
Open the Windows Control Panel and click Add or Remove Programs.
Select Oracle Secure Backup from the Currently Installed Programs window.
Click Remove. The Add or Remove Programs confirmation window displays.
Click Yes to remove Oracle Secure Backup from your computer.
If you configured your host as an administrative server, an additional window opens asking if you want to preserve the files specific to your administrative domain. Choose one of the following:
- Click Delete if you do not want to retain the administrative domain files.
- Click Keep if you want to retain the administrative domain files.
  
  Note:
  If you click Keep to retain the administrative domain files, then you can reinstall the Oracle Secure Backup software later and the configuration of your administrative domain is preserved.
Restart the computer.

Oracle Secure Backup is now uninstalled from your host.

6.2 Uninstalling Oracle Secure Backup on Linux or UNIX

The following example uninstalls Oracle Secure Backup on a Linux host called storaback04. The same procedures apply to Solaris hosts.

In this example Oracle Secure Backup is uninstalled from the administrative server. The procedure is the same when using the administrative server to uninstall Oracle Secure Backup from other hosts.

Log on as root to the administrative server.
Shut down Oracle Secure Backup-related processes such as the http processes for Oracle Secure Backup Web tool. To identify processes for Oracle Secure Backup, use the following command:
```
# /bin/ps -ef |grep ob
```
Use kill -9 pid commands to kill each process in the list associated with Oracle Secure Backup.
Change directory to the parent directory of the Oracle Secure Backup home directory. For example:
```
# cd /usr/local/oracle
```
Note:
If you uninstall Oracle Secure Backup from the administrative server, then the uninstallob uninstall script removes the Oracle Secure Backup home directory at the end of the uninstall process.

Run the uninstallob program:

# backup/install/uninstallob

The following output appears:

Welcome to Oracle's Un-Install program for Oracle Secure Backup.

This program will remove Oracle Secure Backup from one or more machines on 
your network. If you are going to remove Oracle Secure Backup from this host,
make sure you do it last (lest the un-install program disappear before 
you're done with it).

For most questions, a default answer appears enclosed in square brackets.
Press return to select this answer.

Enter the name of a host from which you'd like to remove Oracle Secure Backup:

Enter the host name. For example:

storabck05

The following output appears:

Just a moment while I learn about storabck05...done.
 
You selected this machine, storabck05, from which to remove Oracle Secure Backup.
(Note: once Oracle Secure Backup is removed from this host, you will not
       be able to remove Oracle Secure Backup from other hosts.)
 
Enter the name of a obparameters file that was used to install
Oracle Secure Backup on storabck05 [install/obparameters]:

Press the Enter key to accept the default.

The following output appears:
```
Do you want to remove the Oracle Secure Backup directory [no]? 
```
Select one of the following:
- Enter no if you do not want to remove the Oracle Secure Backup home directory.
- Enter yes to remove the Oracle Secure Backup home directory.
  
  Note:
  If you answer yes, then all files in the home directory will be deleted. The only exception is the admin directory, which you can elect to retain by answering yes at the next prompt.
Regardless of whether you enter yes or no, the following output appears:
```
Do you want to save the admin directory on storabck05 [yes]?
```
Select one of the following:
- Enter no to remove the administrative directory.
- Enter yes to save the administrative directory.
Note:
If you keep the admin directory, then you can reinstall the Oracle Secure Backup software later without destroying your administrative domain.

This example assumes that you have elected to retain both the backup directory and the admin directory. The following output appears:
```
Oracle Secure Backup will be removed from this host.
The Oracle Secure Backup directory will be retained.
The admin directory will be retained.

Do you wish to continue [no]?
```

Select one of the following:

Enter no to exit the program.

The following output displays:
```
Would you like to remove Oracle Secure Backup from any other machines 
[yes]?
```
You are given the opportunity to select other hosts from which to remove Oracle Secure Backup. If you enter yes, the uninstall process in Steps 4 through 7 is repeated for a new host. If you enter no, the uninstaller exits.

Enter yes to continue.

The following output appears:

Un-installing Oracle Secure Backup from storabck05...
 
Removing /usr/bin links to Oracle Secure Backup components...
Removing /etc links to Oracle Secure Backup components...
Removing /lib links to Oracle Secure Backup components...

Oracle Secure Backup is now uninstalled.

Note:

If you uninstall Oracle Secure Backup from the local machine, then the uninstallob script removes the directory /usr/local/oracle/backup when it completes.
On Solaris it may be necessary to remove the driver for Oracle Secure Backup manually from each media server after uninstalling the rest of the product. See "Manually Uninstalling the Oracle Secure Backup Driver on Solaris" for details.
