IBM Installation Manager - Uninstall IBM Installation Manager on Linux using the uninstall or uninstallc command


Before Installation Manager can be uninstalled, all of the packages that have been installed by Installation Manager must be uninstalled. The imcl listInstalledPackages command can be used to list all of the packages that have been installed by Installation Manager. When listInstalledPackages only returns com.ibm.cic.agent, then Installation Manager can be uninstalled. com.ibm.cic.agent is Installation Manager. In this example, the installation manager imcl (Installation Manager command line tool) command is located at /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools/imcl but you may have the imcl command located at some other directory.

~]# /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools/imcl listInstalledPackages
com.ibm.cic.agent_<version>

 

There are two commands that can be used to uninstall Installation Manager, uninstall and uninstallc. If Installation Manager was installed by the root user using the installc command, the uninstall and uninstallc commands are located at:

/var/ibm/InstallationManager/uninstall/uninstall
/var/ibm/InstallationManager/uninstall/uninstallc

 

If Installation Manager was installed by a non-root user using the userinstc command, the uninstall and uninstallc commands are located at:

  • uninstall is used if Installation Manager was installed by root
  • uninstallc is used if Installation Manager was installed by a non-root user
/home/username/var/ibm/InstallationManager/uninstall/uninstall
/home/username/var/ibm/InstallationManager/uninstall/uninstallc

 

The uninstall command is used for a non-silent uninstallation, and the uninstallc command is used for a silent uninstallation. You will simply invoke the uninstall or uninstallc commands to uninstall Installation Manager. If the uninstall is successful, the following should be displayed.

Uninstalled com.ibm.cic.agent_<version> from the /path/to/InstallationManager/eclipse directory.

 

Optionally, you can remove the Installation Manager directory after Installation Manager has been uninstalled.

rm -rf /opt/IBM/InstallationManager
