mode, up to and including mounting the installation CD drive.
See

“Installing an agent in verbose mode”

on page 78.

Type and run the following command after replacing <os> with solaris-
sparc, solaris10-sparc, solaris10-x86, linux-rhel3, linux-rhel4, linux-sles8,
linux-sles9, hpux-hppa, hpux-ia64, aix, or tru64:

If you did not specify the -reboot option, restart the computer if intrusion
prevention is enabled on Solaris or Linux.
If the agent fails to install correctly, review the /var/log/scsplog/
agent_install.log file.

Uninstalling agents using package commands

You can uninstall the agents by using native operating system package
commands. The package name for the agent is SYMCcsp.

When the uninstaller completes, it reports an uninstall status.

To uninstall agents using package commands

1

(Solaris/Linux) Start the management console, and set the policy for the
agent to uninstall to the Null policy.
The agent prevents you from installing and removing agent-related files if
it is enforcing a restrictive prevention policy.
If the Solaris or Linux agent is not communicating with the management
console, disable the agent, and then continue with the uninstall.
See

“Disabling and enabling Solaris agents”

on page 91.

See

“Disabling and enabling Linux agents”

on page 93.

2

Open a Terminal window on the computer that runs the agent to uninstall,
and become superuser.

pkgrm SYMCcsp

4

On Linux, type and run the following command:

rpm -e SYMCcsp

On AIX, type and run the following command:
