Protocols that are not required can be uninstalled from QoreStor by providing the required options to the uninstaller. QoreStor systems running software version less than 7.1.3, should first upgrade to 7.1.3 or higher to have the option available to uninstall the selective protocol stack from their QoreStor systems.
The uninstaller located at /opt/qorestor/bin/qs_uninst provides this option for selective removal of the protocol support. Execute following command to uninstall:
# ./qs_uninst –help
For example:
usage: qs_uninst [-a]
Use the following table to define the uninstall options:
