Uninstalling Server Inventory

The Server Inventory component of Novell® ZENworks® Server Management cannot be uninstalled automatically. You must manually remove the Inventory server, the Inventory database running on Sybase, the Novell eDirectoryTM objects, and the Server Inventory snap-in files from Novell ConsoleOne®.

NOTE:  If your Inventory database is mounted on Oracle or MS SQL, follow the uninstall procedure recommended by Oracle or MS SQL respectively.

You must remove the objects and the files from every server and workstation where the Server Inventory components were installed.

In an enterprise deployment of Inventory, uninstall all Leaf Servers first, then proceed to uninstall Intermediate Servers, and finally the Root Server. Before uninstalling Server Inventory, make sure you have made and archived a reliable backup of the Inventory database residing at the Root Server.

  1. Uninstalling the Server Inventory eDirectory Objects
  2. Uninstalling the Database eDirectory Object
  3. Uninstalling the Sybase Inventory Database
  4. Uninstalling the Sybase Engine
  5. Uninstalling the Inventory Agent
  6. Uninstalling the Inventory Server Software
  7. Uninstalling the XML Proxy Server
  8. Uninstalling the Server Inventory Snap-Ins from ConsoleOne
