Uninstalling the SAN Volume Controller Console

You can uninstall the SAN Volume Controller Console from your system.

1. Log on to the system as a local system administrator.
2. Stop the IBM® WebSphere® Application Server V6 - SVC service:
   1. Click Start > Settings > Control Panel.
   2. In the Control Panel window, double-click on the Administrative Tools icon.
   3. Double-click the Services icon. The Services window opens.
   4. In the Services window, find IBM WebSphere Application Server V6 - SVC. Click on the service to select it.
   5. If the Status column shows Started, right-click the service and click Stop on the menu.
   6. Wait for the service to stop.
3. Use the Windows® Add/Remove Programs facility to remove the SAN Volume Controller Console.
   1. From the Windows menu bar, click Start > Settings > Control Panel. Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
   2. Click IBM System Storage® SAN Volume Controller Console from the list of currently installed programs and click Remove to remove the product. The Welcome panel for the Uninstaller opens.
4. Click Next to continue or click Cancel to stop the removal of the SAN Volume Controller Console. The program detects whether the IBM WebSphere Application Server V6 - SVC is running. If this service is running, the uninstaller stops it before proceeding with the uninstallation.
5. Click Next to have the program stop the service for you or click Cancel to exit the removal process if you wish to manually stop the service. Instructions for stopping the service begin in step 2. You must then restart the removal process from the Windows Add/Remove facility. The Confirmation panel opens.
6. Click Remove to continue or click Cancel to stop the removal of the SAN Volume Controller Console. Click Back to return to the previous panel. The Uninstallation Progress panel opens.
7. Wait for the program to remove the SAN Volume Controller Console product. The Finish panel for the Uninstaller opens.
8. This panel indicates the result of the removal process (successful or failed). Click Finish to complete the removal process and exit the wizard.
   Note: If the Uninstaller cannot remove information from the system, a Next button is displayed instead of a Finish button. Click Next to open the Reboot panel. If the reboot panel opens, you can chose to either restart your computer now or restart your computer at a later time. Click Finish to complete the removal process and exit the wizard.
9. Close the Add/Remove Programs window.
10. If the system has not been restarted since the SAN Volume Controller Console was removed, restart the system now.
11. Log on to the system as a local system administrator.
    Note: The removal process saves files uniquely related to the configuration in a backup directory under the destination path where you installed the SAN Volume Controller Console. Save these files if you plan to reinstall the application. Otherwise you can remove the backup folder and files. An example of the default destination path is: C:\Program Files\IBM\svcconsole.
12. Empty your Windows Recycle Bin to reclaim the disk space that was made available during the removal process.
