Uninstalling Communications Suite in Silent Mode

Uninstalling Communications Suite in Silent Mode

If you run the uninstaller in Silent mode, you are running a non-interactive session. The uninstallation inputs are taken from a silent uninstallation file (also known as a state file), from command line arguments, or defaults.

To run a silent uninstallation, follow these steps:

1. Run an interactive uninstallation session.

A state file similar to /var/opt/CommsInstaller/logs/silent_CommsInstaller_20070501135358 is automatically created.

Note

The silent installation and uninstallation files have the same file naming convention. You need to scan the contents of the file to determine if it is an installation or uninstallation silent file.

2. Copy the state file to each host machine and edit the file as needed.

3. Run the silent uninstallation on each host. See usage in commpkg uninstall Usage.

Note

Command-line arguments override the values and arguments in the state file.

The following is a sample uninstall silent file:

# Silent File for CommsInstaller 5.0-1.03}}
# Generated on 20070604120325}}
# verb used to create this silent file
VERB=uninstall
