8 To remove the ICS Native packages, use the pkgrm command. Remove the

that is not empty, enter y and press enter.
15 When asked if you want to remove references to NetBackup and Media Manager

minutes, you should see the following message:
Removal of <SYMCnetbp> was successful.
16 Remove the startup scripts, as follows:
rm -f /etc/rc2.d/S77netbackup
rm -f /etc/rc2.d/S95nbclient
rm -f /etc/rc1.d/K01netbackup
rm -f /etc/rc1.d/K01nbclient

rm -f /etc/rc0.d/K01netbackup
rm -f /etc/rc0.d/K01nbclient
rm -f /etc/init.d/netbackup
rm -f /etc/init.d/nbclient

The following startup scripts appear only if NetBackup Fiber Transport was enabled
on the server.
rm -f /etc/rc0.d/K03nbftserver
rm -f /etc/rc2.d/S21nbftserver
rm -f /etc/rc1.d/K03nbftserver
rm -f /etc/init.d/nbftserver
17 To remove the NetBackup-Java application state data for the root account, run
the following commands:
Warning: Do not insert a space between the slash character (/) and the
period or dot character (.) of /.nbjava. A space between these characters removes
all of your files from the root level and beyond.
/bin/rm -rf /.nbjava
/bin/rm -rf /.java/.userPrefs/vrts

18 Inform NetBackup-Java users, that they can remove their $HOME/.nbjava and
portions of $HOME/.java directories. The $HOME/.nbjava and
$HOME/.javadirectories contain application state information, that is saved when
the user exits NetBackup-Java. These files are created with the command bpnbat
-LoginMachine.

If you plan to reinstall NetBackup on the same machine at a later date, do one of
the following:

Preserve the certificates in the vxss/credentials directory.

If you do not preserve the certificates, you must provide the machine identity
password as originally set on the Root+AB broker. As an alternative, you can reset
the password on the Root+AB broker when you reinstall.
