Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> uninstalling old Oracle software and empty oracle homes question
We are currently running 9.2.0.5 EntEd on AIX5L. On both our test and
production servers there are still 4 past installs of the older
versions from previous upgrades. I opened a tar with Oracle to figure
out the best way to remove the old software and followed their
instructions. The question I have is that when I first ran the
universal installer (OUI) It found an empty home directory. I removed
it as well. Now I have the 4 old OS level directories and files. When I
start up OUI and list the installations it only finds our current
install. I was leary of just deleting the old OS directories and files,
especially the one that showed up as empty. I think I should be able to
just rm -rf those directories since they don't show up in the inventory
screen of OUI. Does anyone know if I am correct in assuming this? I've
opened another SR with Oracle asking them this same question but I am
just not very patient with them sometimes, as it has been over a day
and no answer yet.
thanks,
Ben
