Netbackup 7.6.0.4 and pbx removal

Hi, 

I need to remove NBU from my Ubuntu server.

I saw this post but i wonder if there has none-manually\better way to do it.

also i didn't find how to remove the vxpbx_exchange service. How should i do it?

Thanks

 

edit:

I have an "install" script installation that installing the PBX and NBU Services - it is extracting the necessery packages from tar.gz files.

    The TechNote you found is for very old NBU version(s).

    If you want to remove NBU Client Software, you need to look in the Installation Guide for the particular NBU version.

    For NBU 7.6: NetBackup Installation Guide  

    Chapter 10: Removing NetBackup client software

    Removing NetBackup server software in chapter 9.

    Generally pbx_exchange automatically uninstalls with unistallation of Symantec Netbackup, if it not required by any other product of symantec on that server.

    PBX should be a package you can uninstall. PBX does not de-install with Netbackup becuase its used by many other Symantec programs .e.g VCS, VXVM


    # dpkg -l | grep -i pbx

    Then remmove the package. Youre version for PBX will be diffrent 

    # dpkg -r VRTSpbx-1.5.26.4-4

    to remove PBX :

     

    AIX installp -u VRTSpbx

    HP-UX swremove VRTSpbx

    Linux rpm -e VRTSpbx

    Solaris pkgrm VRTSpbx

    Marianne,

    The Linux removal in the installtion guide is only for RHEL (rpm) and not for Debian.

    Thanks for the soulution for the pbx service.

     

    By the way, the installation i have is an install script, not dpkg binary (or rpm binary.....)

    According to NBU Installation Guide, the command for Linux is:

    rpm -e VRTSpbx

    Thanks Nicolai,

    but i am installtion the NBU with install script that installed the pbx service and the NBU together, not using the dpkg platform, so I do not have an ubuntu package to remove.

    The NBU install script will still call OS commands in the background.

    There is nothing in the Installation Guide that says RHEL.
    The assumption therefore is that it will be for all supported Linux versions.
