How do I uninstall the Agent Manager?

This section topic describes how to completely uninstall the Agent Manager and remove the init.d script used to run the Agent Manager as a daemon or the Foglight™ Agent Manager Windows® service.
To remove the init.d script used to run the Agent Manager as a daemon on UNIX®:
 
* 
IMPORTANT: Stop the Agent Manager using the init.d script, then remove the init.d script before uninstalling the Agent Manager.
1
Launch a command shell on the Agent Manager machine and navigate to <fglam_home>/state/default/.
2
Switch to the root user and run the script fglam-init-script-installer.sh with the remove option:
./fglam-init-script-installer.sh remove
 
* 
IMPORTANT: This script must be run as root.
The setup script fglam-init-script-installer.sh removes the init.d script dell-fglam and all known symlinks to the dell-fglam script. See Installing the Agent Manager using the Installer Interface for the location from which it is removed.
To remove the Foglight Agent Manager Windows service:
 
* 
IMPORTANT: Remove the Agent Manager Windows service before uninstalling the Agent Manager.
1
Launch a Command Prompt window on the Agent Manager machine and navigate to the <fglam_home>\bin directory.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: On Windows 7 and Vista, you must issue the command to manually remove the Agent Manager as a Windows service using an administrator version of cmd.exe or PowerShell (not just logged in as administrator).
2
Run the Agent Manager from the command-line with the --remove-service option:
fglam.exe --remove-service
3
Close the Command Prompt window.
To uninstall the Agent Manager:
1
Stop the Agent Manager.
2
Delete the installation directory (referred to as <fglam_home> in this chapter section) and any state directories related to this installation.
 
* 
NOTE: On HP-UX, you cannot unlink a binary used for paging. This means that even if you stop the program that is using the shared library, if HP-UX has it cached, you cannot delete the file.
The workaround is to move or rename the file before you delete it. For example:
$ $FGLAM_HOME/bin/fglam -q
$ cd $FGLAM_HOME/..
$ mv $FGLAM_HOME x
# rm -rf x

Where can I find the Agent Manager installation log files?

The Agent Manager saves its log files in the <fglam_home>/state/<state_name>/logs directory.
 
* 
NOTE: If you did not specify the <state_name> using the --location command, the default name is default.
In addition to the installation log file, Install*.log, that contains messages logged during the installation, the Agent Manager also provides the following log files:
•
FglAM*.log contains messages logged during run-time.
•
quest-runner*.log contains messages logged by the external process runner.
•
quest-watchdog*.log contains information from the Agent Manager self-monitoring watchdog process.
•
auditor/SecurityAudit*.log contains information about agent activities needed for agent developers and Dell Support.

Why does the message "Created system preferences directory in java.home" appear after I finish installing the Agent Manager on AIX?

This is a benign log message from JavaTM that appears when you finish installing the Agent Manager on AIX®. Java performs the action described the first time a specific user runs Java on a machine.
