2. Uninstalling TSM 5.3 and earlier from Linux

Depending on which version you have installed will mean you have a particular package name. The following table lists the different package names (in cases of package names ending in -b1 this also could be -b2, -b3, -b4, -b6):

TSM Version 3.1, 3.7, 4,1 4.2 5.1 5.2 5.3
Tarball Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes
RPM Package name N/A TIVsm-BA (and) TIVsm-API TIVsm-OUCS TIVsm-OUCS-B1 tsm-client-b1
DEB Package name N/A N/A tivsm-oucs tivsm-oucs-b1 tsm-client-b1

Shutdown any scheduler process running as below: 

                    # If using an init script - ( here called 'dsmsched' )
                    % dsmsched stop
                    % ps -ef | grep [d]smc	# should return no output
                    
                    # if just running in the background
                    % pid=`ps -ef | grep [d]smc | awk '{print $2}'`
                    % kill -TERM $pid

Now uninstall the TSM software as below: 

                    # Linux Redhat - as root user
                    % rpm -e TIVsm-OUCS
                    
                    # Debian Linux - as root user
                    % dpkg --purge tivsm-oucs
                    
                    # Removing an installation from tar files - as root user
                    % cd /opt
                    % rm -rf tivoli/

3. Uninstalling TSM 5.4 and later from Solaris 9,10

To uninstall TSM:

                    # as root user
                    % pkgrm TIVsmCoucs

This will stop the scheduler process from running, but it is worth checking this has happened i.e:

                    % ps -ef | grep dsmc

4. Uninstalling TSM 5.3 from Solaris 9 and 10

Shutdown any scheduler process running as below:

                    # Using the Service Management facility - as root
                    % cd  /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin
                    % ./uninstall_xml.sh

Now uninstall the TSM software as below:

                    # as root user
                    % pkgrm TIVsmCoucs
