Uninstalling-Reinstalling the DCA on Solaris

Caution: If you are uninstalling the DCA as part of a reinstallation, and you have customized settings in the DCA properties files or parser, you may want to backup these files before proceeding.

To Uninstall the DCA

To uninstall the DCA:

  1. Stop the DCA server. Caution: Failure to stop the DCA from uninstalling properly.

  2. Run the DCA uninstall script from the location: /DCA/bin with the command: ./uninstall

  3. The uninstall script prompts to delete the DCA. Type ‘Yes’. This deletes the DCA and DCA-webroot directory and all their sub directories.

  4. This script also replaces the backed up files in the Sun ONE (iPlanet) server instance. For example, /usr/iplanet/servers/<https-dcahost>/config.

  5. Caution: Certain files used by the DCA uninstall are not removed from the system until the server is rebooted. Failure to reboot the server after an uninstall can adversely affect a subsequent reinstallation of the DCA.

Note : Cisco recommends to completely uninstall the Sun ONE web server instance by manually deleting the server instance that was configured for this DCA.
