NetBackup™ Snapshot Manager for Data Center Administrator's Guide

Removing NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center from a standalone Docker host environment

The process for uninstalling NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center is the same as that followed for installation. The only difference is that you specify "uninstall" in the command, which tells the installer to remove the components from the host.

During uninstallation, the installer performs the following tasks on the NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center host:

  • Stops all the NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center containers that are running.

  • Removes the NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center containers.

  • Unloads and removes the NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center images.

To uninstall NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center

  1. Verify that there are no protection policy snapshots or other operations in progress, and then uninstall NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center by running the following command on the host:

    (For Docker/Podman)

    flexsnap_configure uninstall

    The installer begins to unload the relevant NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center container packages from the host. Messages similar to the following indicate the progress status:
