Uninstalling Access Manager when you uninstall Secure API Manager reduces the number of steps you must perform because you do not have to delete the Secure API Manager objects from the Access Manager Administration Console.
Removing the configuration information for the Secure API Manager appliances from VMware and L4 switches reduces the possibility of errors when you redeploy Secure API Manager. For example, if you do not remove the networking information for the Secure API Manager appliances from the L4 switch, network issues can result because the appliances still appear to be available for use.
To uninstall Access Manager and Secure API Manager:
Uninstall Access Manager. For more information, see Uninstalling Components
in the NetIQ Access Manager 5.0 Installation and Upgrade Guide.
(Conditional) If you used the appliance, power off and delete each Secure API Manager appliance from VMware. For more information, see Delete a Virtual Machine.
(Conditional) If you used the Docker deployment, run the uninstall script on each node in the cluster for the Docker deployment using the following command:
./sapim-node-uninstall.sh
NOTE:The uninstall script is located in the sapim-install-2.1.x.tar.gz file.
(Conditional) If you clustered Secure API Manager, remove the configuration information for the Secure API Manager deployments from the L4 switch.
