Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines 6.0.1 Installation and Deployment Guide

Functions of uninstaller tool

The uninstaller tool removes vRPAs, shadow VMs, configuration objects, and repository and journal volumes.

Running the uninstaller tool does the following:

1. Scans the vCenter, datastores, and ESXi hosts.
2. Displays a list of all detected vRPA clusters and marks them either active or suspected inactive. Active clusters are clusters that have registered vCenter tokens during the last hour.
3. After you select which vRPA clusters the tool should uninstall, the tool removes the following from the selected vRPA clusters: Production and replica VMs that were running vRPAs, shadow VMs (if they exist), RecoverPoint configuration objects, and the repository and journal volumes.

In addition to all the actions performed when uninstalling one vRPA cluster, uninstalling all vRPAs removes all vRPA clusters on the selected vCenter with all related elements. It also removes from the vCenter RecoverPoint elements not belonging to a specific vRPA cluster, such as the RecoverPoint vCenter plug-in.

The uninstaller tool does not remove plugin servers or splitter/JIRAFs. For further instructions, see Finishing up the uninstall.
