Hello CommVaulters, 

Uninstallation of MediaAgent on Linux machine via CommCell is failing. So, I would like to clean up mediaagent on Linux and push a fresh media agent software onto it. Please help me with the commands to run on linux machine to manually uninstall or clean up MediaAgent. 

Thanks in advance, 

Arun Kumar KT

Hi Arun

go through this: https://documentation.commvault.com/11.23/expert/2772_uninstalling_commvault_locally_from_unix_and_linux_clients.html

If that does not work, you can perform these steps to remove the software using only unix tools:

 

1.) On client run "commvault stop" (this may not work if broken)

2.) Run "ps -ef | grep -i commvault" command to make sure no CV processes are running.
     If there is a process running, run "kill -9 <pid>" to kill it.

3.) Run rm -rf /etc/CommVaultRegistry
4.) Run rm -rf /opt/commvault         
5.) Run rm -rf /tmp/.gxset*           
6.) Run rm -rf /var/log/commvault/*
