Installing Windows Secure Perspective Server:

Installing AIX and Windows Agents:

 

Uninstall 5733-PS1

Note: Your application's data (i.e. terms, policies, and domains) will be preserved by this process.

Secure Perspective Server

IBM i:

  1. Delete the licensed program (CL command):
    QSYS/DLTLICPGM LICPGM(5733PS1)
  2. Remove the contents from the Secure Perspective directory (CL command):
    QSYS/QSH CMD('rm -rd /QIBM/ProdData/SecurePerspective/*')
  3. If 5733PS1 is installed on V6R1 delete the following link (CL command)
    QSYS/DEL OBJLNK('/QIBM/PRODDATA/OS/OSGI/APPS/ADMIN2/SECUREPERSPECTIVE')

Windows:

  1. run <install directory>/Uninstall_IBM Secure Perspective for Windows/Uninstall IBM Secure Perspective for Windows.exe
  2. Delete the entire install directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\Secure Perspective for Windows)

 

Secure Perspective Agent

Windows:

  1. run <install directory>/Uninstall_IBM Secure Perspective Agent/Uninstall IBM Secure Perspective Agent.exe
  2. Delete the entire install directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\SecPerspAgent)

AIX:

  1. Locate your install location.  By default, this is "/SecPerspAgent" and the text "<install directory>" will be used in these instructions to represent that location.
  2. Change your current directory to the uninstall directory:
    cd "<install directory>/Uninstall_IBM Secure Perspective Agent"
  3. Run the uninstaller (Note: Make sure you are signed in as root, or someone of equal authority as the user who installed the product):
    /Uninstall_IBM_Secure_Perspective_Agent
  4. Remove the agent's initialization process configuration from /ect/inittab.  Make sure you signed in as root.
    rmitab SecPerAgt
  5. End the Agent process.  This task can also be accomplished by restarting the AIX system.
    • Find the process ID (ps aux | grep java)
    • Write down the process id for the process that is running under "nobody" and has "java -classpath /" for the path
    • Kill the process ID gathered from the step above (kill <processid>)
  6. Remove the install directory
    cd /
    rm -rf <install directory>
