6.4. Uninstalling Directory Server

6.4.1. Removing a Single Directory Server Instance

It is possible to remove a single instance of Directory Server without uninstalling the system. To do this, run the following:

/usr/sbin/ds_removal -s server_id -w admin_password

The ds_removal script unregisters the server from the Configuration Directory Server and removes any related files and directories. The key and cert files are left in the instance configuration directory, and the configuration directory is renamed instance-name.removed.

6.4.2. Uninstalling Directory Server

6.4.2.1. Linux

To uninstall Red Hat Directory Server entirely, do the following:

Remove all of the Directory Server instances. Each Directory Server instance service must be running for the remove script to access it.

/usr/sbin/ds_removal -s example1 -w itsasecret
/usr/sbin/ds_removal -s example2 -w itsasecret
/usr/sbin/ds_removal -s example3 -w itsasecret

Stop the Administration Server.
```
service dirsrv-admin stop
```

Then use the system tools to remove the packages. For example, on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, do the following:

rpm -ev dirsec-nss dirsec-nspr dirsec-nss-tools  --nodeps
rpm -ev svrcore mozldap6 mozldap6-tools perl-Mozilla-LDAP --nodeps
rpm -ev redhat-ds-base --nodeps
rpm -ev redhat-ds-admin redhat-ds-console redhat-admin-console --nodeps
rpm -ev idm-console-framework redhat-idm-console --nodeps

On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (32-bit), the packages to remove are as follows:

rpm -ev svrcore mozldap mozldap-tools perl-Mozilla-LDAP --nodeps
rpm -ev redhat-ds-base --nodeps
rpm -ev redhat-ds-admin redhat-ds-console redhat-admin-console --nodeps
rpm -ev idm-console-framework redhat-idm-console --nodeps

6.4.2.2. HP-UX

To uninstall Red Hat Directory Server entirely, do the following:

Remove all of the Directory Server instances.

/opt/dirsrv/sbin/ds_removal -s example1 -w itsasecret
/opt/dirsrv/sbin/ds_removal -s example2 -w itsasecret
/opt/dirsrv/sbin/ds_removal -s example3 -w itsasecret

Stop the Administration Server.
```
/opt/dirsrv/sbin/stop-ds-admin
```
Remove the directory where the Directory Server is installed. For example:
```
rm -Rf /export/ds80
```
Remove the symlinks to the directories. For example:
```
rm -f /opt/dirsrv /var/opt/dirsrv /etc/opt/dirsrv
```

6.4.2.3. Solaris

To uninstall Red Hat Directory Server entirely, do the following:

Remove all of the Directory Server instances.

/usr/sbin/ds_removal -s example1 -w itsasecret
/usr/sbin/ds_removal -s example2 -w itsasecret
/usr/sbin/ds_removal -s example3 -w itsasecret

Stop the Administration Server.
```
/etc/init.d/dirsrv-admin stop
```

Then use the system tools to remove the packages. For example:

#!/bin/bash
  for i in `pkginfo | grep -i rhat | grep -vi rhatperlx | awk '{print $2}'`
  do
     pkgrm -n $i
  done
  echo "looking for any leftover RHAT packages ..."
  pkginfo | grep RHAT
