Removing the NetBackup Snapshot Manager agents
You must first remove the NetBackup Snapshot Manager agents before you remove NetBackup Snapshot Manager. The agents are installed directly on the host where the applications are running. NetBackup Snapshot Manager agents manage the NetBackup Snapshot Manager plug-ins that discover assets and perform snapshot operations on the host.
To uninstall the NetBackup Snapshot Manager on-host agents
- Connect to the host where you have installed the NetBackup Snapshot Manager agent.
Ensure that the user account that you use to connect has administrative privileges on the host.
- For Linux-based agent, perform the following:
Remove the .rpm package using the following command:
# sudo yum -y remove <snapshotmanager_agent_package>
Here, <snapshotmanager_agent_package> is the name of the agent rpm package, without the version number and the file extension (
.rpm).For example, if the name of the agent rpm package is
VRTSflexsnap-agent-11.0.x.x-xxxx-RHEL.x86_64.rpm, the command syntax is as follows:# sudo yum -y remove VRTSflexsnap-agent
- For Windows-based agent, do the following:
From Windows Control Panel > Programs and Features, select the entry for the NetBackup Snapshot Manager agent (Cohesity NetBackup Snapshot Manager Agent) and then click Uninstall.
Follow the wizard workflow to uninstall the agent from the Windows instance.
Note:
To allow the uninstallation, admin users will have to click Yes on the Windows UAC prompt. Non-admin users will have to specify admin user credentials on the UAC prompt.
- This completes the agent uninstallation.
You can now proceed to uninstall NetBackup Snapshot Manager.
