Uninstalling Management Console

The uninstall command shuts down Management Console (MC) and removes most of the files that MC installation script installed.

1. Log in to the target server as root.

2. Stop Management Console:

   # /etc/init.d/vertica-consoled stop
   

   For versions of Red Hat 7/CentOS 7 and above, use:

   # systemctl stop vertica-consoled
   

3. Look for previously-installed versions of MC and note the version:

   RPM

   # rpm -qa | grep vertica
   

   DEB
   

   # dpkg -l | grep vertica
   

4. Remove the package. For RHEL based systems, run one of these commands:

   RPM

   sudo dnf remove vertica-console
   

   or

   sudo rpm -e vertica-console
   

   DEB

   # dpkg -r vertica-console
   

5. Optionally, delete the MC directory and all subdirectories:

   # rm -rf /opt/vconsole
   

Before reinstalling the management console, clean up the existing installation. This helps prevent issues during reinstallation.
