Uninstalling VCS 5.0 RU3

You must meet the following conditions to use the uninstallvcs program to
uninstall VCS on all nodes in the cluster at one time:

Make sure that the communication exists between systems. By default, the
uninstaller uses ssh.

Make sure you can execute

ssh

or

rsh

commands as superuser on all nodes in

the cluster.

Make sure that the

ssh

or

rsh

passwords or passphrases.

If you cannot meet the prerequisites, then you must run the uninstallvcs program
on each node in the cluster.
