Affected NV Version: 7.4.x
OS Version: Solaris (SPARC)
Plug-in version: N/A
Application version: N/A
Description: If the uninstall process offered with NetVault 7.4.x is used to remove it from a target machine, various NetVault directories are left on that machine. If a later attempt is made to re-install NetVault on this machine, an error will be revealed and the re-installation will fail.
The workaround for this issue is as follows:
1. Initiate a terminal session on the target machine and navigate to the following directory
/netvault
2. Issue the following command to remove the link that locks the NetVault tmp directory:
unlink ./tmp
3. Back out of the NetVault directory, and remove the link that locks the NetVault installation directory by
inputting the following two commands in sequence:
cd ..
unlink ./netvault
This will allow users to re-install NetVault on the target Solaris (SPARC) machine.
