Use the swremove utility to uninstall eDirectory components from your HP-UX systems.

removing eDirectory you must first copy the roll-forward logs to another location. For information
about roll-forward logs, see “Using Roll-Forward Logs” in the
Novell eDirectory 8.8 Administration
Guide .
For more information, refer to the swremove man page.
