Uninstalling the ManageWise 2.7 Components

Although uninstalling the existing ManageWise^® 2.7 components is not required, it is recommended that you remove existing LANalyzer agents before installing ZfS. It is also possible, depending on your environment, that you may need to free up disk space or want to remove old files that are no longer needed.

To uninstall the ManageWise 2.7 primary components and LANalyzer Agents, follow the instructions in each of the following sections:

• Uninstalling the ManageWise 2.7 Server, Console, and Agents
• Uninstalling and Upgrading the ManageWise 2.7 LANalyzer Agent

Uninstalling the ManageWise 2.7 Server, Console, and Agents

Although there is no requirement to uninstall the ManageWise 2.7 components, there are a variety of reasons that you might want to remove the old files from your system. The ManageWise 2.7 components consist of the following:

• ManageWise Server
• ManageWise Console
• ManageWise Agent^TM

Instructions for uninstalling each of these components can be found in the Novell Technical Information Document #10011891, which can be accessed from the Knowledgebase section of the Support Web site.

For instructions on removing and upgrading from a ManageWise 2.7 LANalyzer Agent, see Uninstalling the Traffic Analysis Agent.

Uninstalling and Upgrading the ManageWise 2.7 LANalyzer Agent

You do not need to uninstall the previous version of the LANalyzer Agent to upgrade to ZfS; however, it is recommended. If you do not remove the existing LANalyzer Agent, you must edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF file on each NetWare server on which you upgraded the Traffic Analysis Agent to ensure that the server runs the new version of the agent.

Although it is not required, you can save the existing trend data by migrating the trend files using the GTREND utility, as described in Migrating Trend Files.

This section contains the following procedures:

• Uninstalling the ManageWise 2.7 LANalyzer Agent
• Upgrading the ManageWise 2.7 LANalyzer Agent

Uninstalling the ManageWise 2.7 LANalyzer Agent

Uninstalling the LANalyzer Agent for NetWare (referred to as the Traffic Analysis Agent in ZfS) does the following:

• Removes all the files in the SYS:\LANZ directory and deletes the directory
• Removes the LANZ.NCF and ULANZ.NCF files from the SYS:\SYSTEM directory
• Removes the LANalyzer Agent for NetWare statements from the AUTOEXEC.NCF file
• Deletes the long-term trend data file from the GTREND directory

NOTE:  LANZDIR is the default directory where the LANalyzer Agent is installed.

To uninstall the LANalyzer Agent from a NetWare server:

1. Enter ULANZ at the console prompt to unload the LANalyzer Agent.

2. Search for the LANalyzer Agent for NetWare statements in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file. For example, search for statements beginning with Search add LANZDIR and LANZ.NCF.

3. Delete all the files from the directory where the LANalyzer Agent for NetWare is installed.

4. Delete the GTREND files from the server. Obtain the directory name from the argument to GTREND.NLM in the LANZ.NCF file. The default directory name is SYS:\GTREND.

5. Delete the LANZ.NCF and ULANZ.NCF files from the SYS:\SYSTEM directory.

6. Delete the LANalyzer Agent for NetWare statements from the AUTOEXEC.NCF file.

7. Delete the LANZ^TM installation information from PRODUCTS.DAT.

Upgrading the ManageWise 2.7 LANalyzer Agent

If you do not remove the existing LANalyzer Agent, you must ensure that the upgraded servers run the new version of the agent.

To ensure that your NetWare servers run the new Traffic Analysis Agent:

1. On each NetWare server on which you upgraded the ZfS Traffic Analysis Agent, open the AUTOEXEC.NCF file located in the SYS:\SYSTEM directory.

2. Comment out the following lines by placing a "#" character at the beginning of the line as follows:

   #Search add <LANZDIR> 
#LANZ.NCF 

   The first statement defines the search path, where <LANZDIR> is the directory in which the older agent is installed. The second statement loads the older agent.

3. Save the file and restart the server

   The new agent will load and run automatically.
