Uninstalling SDK version 3.0

If you installed version 3.0 of the SDK using the instructions in this book, first save any files you need from the /opt/cell directory and the /opt/ibm/systemsim directory.

Uninstall the SDK by following these steps:

  1. Uninstall the SDK RPMs using YUM. Use the uninstall option of the cellsdk script. For example type # ./cellsdk uninstall.

    For an example, see cellsdk script SDK uninstallation example. Answer 'y' when asked by YUM to uninstall the packages.

    After YUM has uninstalled all of the SDK RPMs, there are a series of questions about how much cleanup you want to do for other directories used by the SDK. To perform a full uninstall, answer 'y' to all questions.

  2. Clean up the YUM cache.
    1. Type the following commands: 
      # yum clean all
# rm -rf /var/cache/yum/CellSDK*
  3. Clean up the YUM configuration.
    1. Remove the SDK exclude clause added to the /etc/yum.conf file. See Preventing automatic updates from overwriting SDK components.
  4. Uninstall the Eclipse IDE.
    1. Start Eclipse
    2. Click Help -> Software Updates -> Manage Configuration
    3. Click Cell IDE feature
    4. Click the right mouse button
    5. From the popup menu, click disable
    6. Click uninstall
