Determine order for removing products
(RHEL/CentOS only)
When uninstalling
VMware Smart Assurance
products from the same server, the product that was installed first
must be uninstalled last. During the installation of the first product,
the VMware Smart Assurance
Service
Database is created and the other products subsequently access it.
Uninstalling the product installed first will also uninstall the Service
Database that will disable the sm_service command for those products,
prevent their proper operation and uninstallation.You can determine
what product software was installed first by performing this check:
- Use a text editor to open theic-servicedscript.
- For CentOS,ic-servicedis located in the /etc/init.d directory
- For Linux,ic-servicedis located in the /etc/init.d directory
- Find the value of the SMHOME variable.The value of SMHOME indicates which product was installed first.
