Removing vSCOUT vSTREAM Embedded and vSTREAM Agent on Linux

Introduction

Removing vSCOUT, vSTREAM Embedded and vSTREAM Agent on a Linux host is very simple.

The installation directory is ether /opt/NetScout or /usr/lib/NetScout/ unless you have chosen a different installation path during installation.

Run the correponding script:

<INSTALL_DIR>/rtm/bin/vscout_uninstall.sh

<INSTALL_DIR>/rtm/bin/vstream_uninstall.sh

If you receive the message that another version of the agent is installedd on the target server:

1) check if you executed the correct uninstall script (see above)

2) login to the server with sufficient rights and run the folowing command:

yum list installed | grep vS

If the output contains vSCOUT.* or vSTREAM.*, parts of the agent are still installed.

3) If this is the case, run the corresponding command:

yum -y uninstall vSCOUT.x86_64
yum -y uninstall vSTREAM.x86_64

You should now be able to install the agent.
