For Solaris and Linux, if you installed the HP 3PAR CLI in the default location, this log file is located at: /opt/3PAR/inform_cli_/log/install.log For Windows, if you installed the HP 3PAR CLI in the default location, this log file is located at: C:\Program Files\3PAR\inform_cli_\log\install.log The is the current release version, for example 3.1.2. Removing the HP 3PAR CLI The following section describes how to remove HP 3PAR CLI on systems running on Microsoft Windows, Solaris, and Linux operating environments. NOTE: Shut down all running applications and disable virus-checking software before proceeding with the following instructions. On Windows To remove HP 3PAR CLI from a Windows system: 1. Close all copies of the administration software currently running on your system. 2. From the taskbar, click Start→Programs→3PAR→Uninstall HP 3PAR CLI where is the current release version, for example 3.1.2. Result: The Uninstaller window appears. 3. Follow the instructions that appear in the Uninstaller window. 4. When prompted, click Finish to finish removing the CLI from your system. On Solaris and Linux To remove the HP 3PAR CLI from a Solaris or Linux system: 1. Bring up a terminal window and log in as root. NOTE: HP recommends that you log in as root instead of using the su command. If you must use the su command, use su to prevent permission problems that may cause the installation to fail. 2. Change directories as follows: /opt/3PAR/inform_cli_/uninstall/uninstall where is the current release version, for example 3.1.1. 3. Follow the instructions that appear in the Uninstaller to uninstall all HP 3PAR CLI. 4. When prompted, click Finish to finish removing the HP 3PAR CLI from your system. Scripting Considerations If you have scripts that depend on the location of the binaries for any of the HP 3PAR CLI commands, you will need to update your scripts or environment variables to point to the latest version of the HP 3PAR CLI. As an alternative, if you do not need to keep multiple versions of the HP 3PAR CLI installed, you can change the default install location of the HP 3PAR CLI to a path of your choosing 14 Installing the HP 3PAR Command Line Interface
