Uninstall an Interactively Installed Agent

You can uninstall an agent on a Solaris computer using this procedure.

To uninstall an agent that was interactively installed on a Solaris system

  1. Access the target Solaris system locally or remotely.
  2. Log in as a root user.
  3. Access a Unix shell.
  4. Change directories to /opt/CA/ELMAgent.
  5. Type the following commands to initiate the uninstall process. 
    pkgrm ca-elmagent
  6. When the following prompts appear, type y for yes: 
    Do you want to remove this package [y, n, ?, q]
Do you want to continue with the removal of this package [y, n, ?, q]

    The uninstall process runs. Detailed information is saved in /tmp/uninstall_ca‑elmagent.<timestamp>.log.

  7. Verify that the following confirmation message appears: 
    Removal of <ca-elmagent> was successful.

    The agent is uninstalled.

Important! Log on to the CA Enterprise Log Manager server that managed the agent you uninstalled. If the agent is still displayed in an agent group under the Log Collection, Agent Explorer folder, delete the agent. Click Select in the Agent Status Details, click Delete, and respond Yes to the confirmation prompt.
