You can run remote uninstallations from the command line by using the .xml file that was created at the time you saved the uninstallation in a script. The .xml file contains the selections you made in the uninstallation dialog box of the CommCell Console.
Saving the uninstallation in a script is useful in the following scenarios:
-
You want to uninstall the software at a later time.
-
You might have a batch script with a set of administrative tasks, and you want to define the uninstallation task in the batch script (by calling the .xml).
Before You Begin
You must have saved the uninstallation as a script. For instructions, see Uninstalling Commvault Remotely Using the CommCell Console.
Procedure
-
Log on to the computer where you saved the script.
-
At the command line, go to the Installation_Directory_Path/Base directory and run the following command to log on to the CommServe:
qlogin -cs commserve_host_name -u user_name
-
To run the script (.xml file), type the following command:
qoperation execute -af Path_to_XML_File
-
To log off the CommServe, type the following command:
qlogout
