Environment

NetIQ Security Solutions for iSeries 8.0

Situation

Are there any considerations for uninstalling NSSi v8.0 not mentioned in the installation guide?

Error: CPA3DE4 is encountered during uninstall of NSSi v8.0.

"Directory not registered. (C G) " received during uninstall of NSSi v8.0

Resolution

Prior to the uninstall, run the following commands:

QSYS/QSH   CMD('rm -rf /pentasafe/VSA/cmnagent')
QSYS/QSH   CMD('rm -f /etc/vigilent.conf')      

 

Or if you already attempted the uninstall and encountered the issue, run the commands:

QSYS/QSH   CMD('rm -rf /pentasafe/VSA/cmnagent')
QSYS/QSH   CMD('rm -f /etc/vigilent.conf')      
PSCOMMON/PSUNINST

 

 

 

Cause

If you loaded any of our "common agent" PTFs (G1C03001, G1C03002 or G1C03004), new directories will be introduced that our original v8.0 uninstall process was not aware off.  These directories need to be deleted manually.
