Removing Products

Complete the following steps to remove a product version from your system and release the disk space it uses:

  1. Remove any entries in the VMSERVER NAMES file which reference the VMSES/E Product Parameter File on the PPFNAME tag.
  2. Delete any file spaces the product user ID owns.
  3. Delete the product installation user ID and any minidisks in that directory entry.

It is especially important to complete these steps if you plan to later reinstall a product on the same user ID. Any attempt to reinstall such a product will fail unless you remove the product service virtual machine user ID.
