Uninstalling the MogDB

The process of uninstalling the MogDB includes uninstalling the MogDB and clearing the environment of the MogDB server.

Executing Uninstallation

The MogDB provides an uninstallation script to help users uninstall the MogDB.

Procedure

Log in as the OS user omm to the primary node of the database.
Execute the gs_uninstall script to uninstall the MogDB.
```
gs_uninstall --delete-data
```
Alternatively, locally uninstall each node of the MogDB.
```
gs_uninstall --delete-data -L
```

Examples

Execute the gs_uninstall script to uninstall the MogDB.

gs_uninstall --delete-data
Checking uninstallation.
Successfully checked uninstallation.
Stopping the cluster.
Successfully stopped the cluster.
Successfully deleted instances.
Uninstalling application.
Successfully uninstalled application.
Uninstallation succeeded.

Execute the gs_uninstall script to perform single-node uninstallation.

gs_uninstall --delete-data
Checking uninstallation.
Successfully checked uninstallation.
Stopping the cluster.

Successfully deleted instances.
Uninstalling application.
Successfully uninstalled application.
Uninstallation succeeded.

Troubleshooting

If the uninstallation fails, locate faults by following the log information provided in the $GAUSSLOG/om/gs_uninstall-YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS.log file.

Deleting Cluster Configurations

After the MogDB is uninstalled, execute the gs_postuninstall script to delete configurations from all servers in the MogDB if you do not need to re-deploy the MogDB using these configurations. These configurations are made by the gs_preinstall script.

Prerequisites

The MogDB uninstallation task has been successfully executed.
User root is trustworthy and available.
Only user root is authorized to run the gs_postuninstall command.

Procedure

Check whether the mutual trust has been established between the users root. If not, manually establish the mutual trust.

Run the ssh Host name command to check whether mutual trust has been successfully established. Then, enter exit.

plat1:~ # ssh plat2

plat2:~ # exit
logout
Connection to plat2 closed.
plat1:~ #

Go to the following path:
```
cd /opt/software/MogDB/script
```
Run the gs_postuninstall command to clear the environment. If the cluster is installed in environment variable separation mode, run the source command to obtain the environment variable separation file ENVFILE.
```
./gs_postuninstall -U omm -X /opt/software/MogDB/cluster_config.xml --delete-user --delete-group
```
Alternatively, locally use the gs_postuninstall tool to clear each MogDB node.
```
./gs_postuninstall -U omm -X /opt/software/MogDB/cluster_config.xml --delete-user --delete-group -L
```
omm is the name of the OS user who runs the MogDB, and the path of the MogDB configuration file is /opt/software/MogDB/cluster_config.xml.

If the cluster is installed in environment variable separation mode, delete the environment variable separation parameter ENV obtained by running the source command.
```
unset MPPDB_ENV_SEPARATE_PATH
```
Delete the mutual trust between the users root on each MogDB database node.

Examples

Clear the host environment.

gs_postuninstall -U omm -X /opt/software/MogDB/cluster_config.xml --delete-user
