  • Removal of NBU 6.5 client software:

    p. 96 of Unix/Linux Install Guide (http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH52799 ):

    Removing UNIX NetBackup client software

    To remove UNIX NetBackup client software
    1 Log in to the client system as the root user.
    2 Navigate to the /usr/openv directory.
    ■ If /usr/openv is a physical directory, run the following command:
    rm -rf /usr/openv
    ■ If /usr/openv is a link, run the following commands:
    cd /usr/openv
    pwd
    ls
    rm -rf *
    cd /
    rm -f /usr/openv
    3 Remove NetBackup entries in the client’s /etc/services file. Locate the lines, marked by the following strings and delete them:
    # NetBackup services#
    .....
    # End NetBackup services #
    # Media Manager services #
    .....
    # End Media Manager services #
    If you do not see these strings, it may be because you upgraded from an earlier release of NetBackup. You can also remove bpcd, bpjava-msvc, bprd, vnetd, and vopied without searching for the #End...# strings. You are not required to remove the strings from /etc/services. Any operations that access the file can function with or without the services being listed.

    4 Remove the NetBackup entries in the /etc/inetd.conf file by deleting the lines for bpcd, vnetd, vopied, and bpjava-msvc.
    5 Ensure that the inetd daemon reads the updated inetd.conf (or inetd.local) file.
    ■ Determine the process ID of inetd. The ps command options vary from one UNIX operating system to another. Following are two examples. For most UNIX clients, run the following command:
    ps -ea | grep inetd
    ■ HUP the inetd daemon, as follows.
    kill -1 <process_ID>
    The kill command option may vary from one client platform to another. 

     

    Please see above-mentioned manual for full details.

  • Stop NBU client process:

    /etc/init.d/nbclient stop

     

    To remove the NetBackup package, run the following command:

    pkgrm SYMCnetbp

     

     

    Remove the startup scripts, as follows:

    rm -f /etc/rc2.d/S95nbclient

    rm -f /etc/rc1.d/K01nbclient

    rm -f /etc/rc0.d/K01nbclient

    rm -f /etc/init.d/nbclient

  • Right, that's the uninstall procedure we use for unix clients other than Solaris

    For Solaris client uninstall we use the pkgrm method. 

  • Until version 6.5, NBU was not installed on a client in package format. Not even on Solaris...

    Actually, I believe SYMCnbclt  package was introduced with NBU 7.1.
