Uninstalling agents using package commands

You can uninstall the agents by using native operating system package
commands. The package name for the agent is SYMCcsp.

When the uninstaller completes, it reports an uninstall status.

To uninstall agents using package commands

If the Solaris or Linux agent is not communicating with the management
console, disable the agent, and then continue with the uninstall.
