Deinstall a DCE agent from a UNIX or Linux node

To deinstall an existing DCE agent from a UNIX or Linux node:

1. Run the opcagt -kill command.
2. Run the appropriate command to deinstall the agent:
   • Linux operating system:

     To find out which version of the agent is installed, check the value of the parameter OPC_INSTALLED_VERSION in the /opt/OV/bin/OpC/install/opcinfo file on the node.

     If you are removing a version of the agent earlier than 7.0, use the command:
     rpm -e OPC dce

     If you are removing the agent A.07.10 on a Linux operating system, deinstall in two steps:

     1. rpm -e OPSCVCDISC OPCPERF OPCJRE OPC OPCCOMM
     2. rpm -e dce

     Otherwise, use the command:
     rpm -e OPCSVCDISC OPCPERF OPCJRE OPC OPCCOMM dce

   • AIX operating system: installp -ug OPC OPCCOMM OPCPERF OPCSVCDISC
   • HP-UX operating system: swremove ITOAgent
   • Solaris operating system: /usr/sbin/pkgrm OPC OPCCOMM OPCPERF OPCSVCDIS HPlwdce
   • Tru64 operating system: setld -d OPCAGT000 OPCCOMMAGT000 OPCPERFAGT000 OPCSVCDISCAGT000

3. Optional. The management server does not receive notification when you deinstall the agent manually. Therefore, if the node still exists on the management server, the package and policy inventory is incorrect.

   You can delete the node from the management server using the Configure Managed Nodes dialog. Alternatively, to clear the inventory, you can force the management server to remove the agent package in the Uninstall package from... dialog.
