Removing VCEM
WARNING! Removing VCEM could have significant implications. Before removing VCEM, verify
that no other upper-level management products, such as HP Matrix Operating Environment, are
using VCEM capabilities. Uninstallation of VCEM requires a release of all VC Domains. Removing
VCEM also removes all VCEM-centric historical tracking of individual WWNs and MAC addresses.
IMPORTANT: Before you remove VCEM, ensure that you have removed all VC Domains from
the VC Domain Groups that are under VCEM control. Otherwise, VCEM removal will not be
successful. For more information, see
“Removing a VC Domain from a VC Domain Group”
(page 38) .
To remove VCEM:
1.
Choose from one of the following options:
•
Select Start
→All Programs→HP Insight Management→Uninstall HP Insight Management,
and then select HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager.
•
From the Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs, select HP Insight Management,
and then click HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager.
2. Confirm the removal.
After removing VCEM, some files might not be removed. Manually removing such files might
cause an access denied error message. If this occurs, reboot the server where VCEM is
installed, and then remove the files.
NOTE: The removal operation does not remove the following VCEM folder.
C:\Program Files\HP\Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager\
The VCEM folder does not cause any system damage or prevent VCEM from future
reinstallation.
3. The removal logs are located in the %systemdrive%\HPIC\logs\timestamp folder. The
%systemdrive% is the drive where the operating system is installed (such as C:) and the
timestamp
identifies the system clock time stamp.
