Uninstalling the Oracle Secure Backup Device Driver Manually

You might need to uninstall the Oracle Secure Backup driver from your operating system. In most cases, you should use the Oracle Secure Backup uninstallob program. See Chapter 6, "Uninstalling Oracle Secure Backup" for more information.

On Solaris, manual action is required. You should first login as root. Then ensure that the driver is not currently active, that is, ensure that none of the drives or libraries are in use. After performing the following steps, you can delete the special devices files (in /dev) that were created as part of driver installation.

Note:

Since some of the following procedures involve renaming and deleting files, you should make a backup copy of the appropriate directory trees (/etc/conf, /stand/build, and so on) before proceeding.

Manual removal of drivers is described for the following operating system:
