Chapter 6 Uninstalling Cisco Network Planning Solution
Uninstalling Virtual Network Data Server
• The top-level Windows Registry entry for the release might also remain
• In addition, database contents and archive and temp directories remain
Any services installed by the release should be completely removed from the system by the uninstaller.
To perform the following procedures, log into the Virtual Network Data Server host using an account
with administrator and ORA_DBA privileges.
Removing Virtual Network Data Server Database Contents (Optional)
If you want to completely remove the tablespace files and user account for Virtual Network Data Server
from a local database, perform the following steps. You will only want to perform this procedure if you
are permanently removing Virtual Network Data Server from a system AND want to remove database
contents as well as the product installation.
Note If you perform this procedure, do it before you remove the Virtual Network Data Server installation.
Removing Virtual Network Data Server Database Contents
Step 1 Stop services and exit the Control Panel.
Step 2 Open a command window and use the cd command to set the working directory to the Virtual Network
Data Server installation directory. The default install directory is:
C:\Cisco\CiscoNPS1.0\VNEServer\3.0.1_<build_number>.
Step 3 Type: sqlplus system/<password>
A Connected to: Oracle banner message appears if you succeed in logging into Oracle.
Step 4 To get a list of database instance names, type: select name from v$database;
A list (probably just one item) of database names known to Oracle appears. If more than one name
appears, work with your DBA to identify which one is used for Virtual Network Data Server.
Step 5 While still in sqlplus, type: @drop_accounts.sql <dbname>
where the <dbname> is the one identified in the previous step.
• Progress messages appear as the user account and tablespace files are deleted.
• When done, the database instance still exists, but the tables and account used by Virtual Network
Data Server no longer exist.
Note ALL network project data written to the database by Virtual Network Data Server is deleted by
this procedure.
