Use the nds-uninstall utility to uninstall eDirectory components from Linux, Solaris, or AIX systems. This utility uninstalls eDirectory from the local host.
IMPORTANT: Removing eDirectory also removes the roll-forward log directory and all the logs in it. If you want to be able to use the logs for restoring eDirectory on this server in the future, before removing eDirectory you must first copy the roll-forward logs to another location. For information about roll-forward logs, see "Using Roll-Forward Logs" in the Novell eDirectory 8.7.3 Administration Guide.
Execute the nds-uninstall command.
The utility lists the installed components.
Select the desired component.
Use the following syntax:
nds-uninstall -c component1 [[-c component2]...] [-h]
If you do not provide the required parameters in the command line, the nds-install utility will prompt for the parameters.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
-h |
Displays the help strings. |
-c |
Specifies the component that is to be uninstalled. More than one component can be uninstalled by using the -c option multiple times. |
NOTE: Make sure you deconfigure the server on the machine where eDirectory is installed before attempting to run nds-uninstall.
For example, to uninstall Novell eDirectory Server packages, enter the following command:
nds-uninstall -c server
