This article applies to:

• DLP Monitor 9.6.3 and newer versions

Question:

• The "vinstall -u" parameter no longer works
• How do I uninstall so I can cleanly reinstall?

Procedure:

As of version 9.6.3 the vinstall script is changed to twdlp-install and it no longer supports the "-u" or uninstall parameter, so the process must be done manually.

In version 9.6.3 and above, to uninstall follow these steps from a root prompt:

yum erase 'twdlp*' -y
yum erase java-1.7.0-openjdk -y
yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk -y
service postgresql stop
yum erase postgresql-server -y
rm -rf /var/lib/pgsql/*
yum install postgresql-server -y
rm -rf /opt/tomcat
rm -rf /opt/vericept
rm -rf /opt/vericept.bak               

Restart the system.

For previous versions, mount the ISO of the version you are running and run "vinstall -u" from it.

Notes:

• These processes leave the system ready for a DLP reinstall. Some packages are left installed.
• These steps do not leave a clean OS ready for another product.
• The DLP OS install is specific for DLP and not a "generic" Linux install.
