I refered to this document http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH73443 but when I run the vxhf.exe /uninstall I get a error. When I check /help that command isnt there.
Usage:
-------
VxHFBatchInstaller.exe /CP:<CPName> [/Exclude:<HF1.exe>,<HF2.exe>...] [/PreInstallScript:<PreInstallScript.pl>] [ /silent [/forcerestart] ]
VxHFBatchInstaller.exe /list
VxHFBatchInstaller.exe /help
Where CP represents Cumulative Patch.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Veritas Shared\WxRTPrivates\CP13_SFWHA_51SP2
>vxhfbatchinstaller.exe /uninstall:HF50
The syntax of the command is incorrect.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi mhab11,
You cannot run the vxhf.exe command from the CP13_SFWHA_51SP2 folder. For the on that you list here is what you need to do.
1. Open a command prompt with Administrator rights.
2. run:
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Veritas Shared\WxRTPrivates\Hotfix_5_1_20045_87_2587638"
3. run:
vxhf.exe /uninstall:Hotfix_5_1_20045_87_2587638 /silent
Let me know if these steps work for you.
Thank you,
Wally

Hi mhab11,
We don't have a single command to uninstall the entire CP from the server. However, if you want to remove just a single patch here is how you would do it for a sample patch named Hotfix_1_1_20012_88_2087139:
1. Open a command prompt with Administrator rights.
2. CD in to the folder that contains the extraced patch.
In my example the folder we would cd into would be "c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Veritas Shared\WxRTPrivates\Hotfix_1_1_20012_88_2087139"
3. Run the following command: "vxhf.exe /uninstall:Hotfix_1_1_20012_88_2087139 /silent"
Check the output to see if there were any error when removing the hotfix. Errors should be shown in RED. Also check the output to see if the hotfix requires a reboot to complete.
Each hot fix must be uninstalled one at a time. However, with a little scripting knowledge I'm sure a quick script can be created to uninstall all installed patches.
I hope this helps.
Thank you,
Wally
