Removing Software from Installed System

Use

You can remove virtual units directly only if they do not have any instances on HAC nodes. In normal case, to remove software, remove all its instances.

All installed software modules are displayed in System Configurator in System Management > Modules as long as the module has at least one instance.

Prerequisites

  • Choose Connection > Deployment Mode.

  • Inactivate the element you are going to remove.

Procedure

Removing Virtual Unit with No Instances

To remove a virtual unit with no instances, right-click VU name and choose Delete.

Typically there are no this kind of virtual units but during installation before instantiation.

Removing Virtual Unit Instances

To remove an instantiated virtual unit, remove its instances from all nodes:

  1. To inactivate the instance, choose the VU instance in the model tree under HAC Nodes and set the Role to Inactive.

Only after all instances have been removed, the module disappears from Modules list in SC.
