22.0 Uninstalling Server Inventory

The Server Inventory component of Novell® ZENworks® 7 Server Management cannot be uninstalled automatically. You must manually remove the Inventory server, the Inventory database running on Sybase, the Novell eDirectory™ 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.

To uninstall Server Inventory, you must remove the objects and the files from every server and workstation where the Server Inventory components are 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 archived a reliable backup of the Inventory database residing at the Root Server.
