7.3.7. ds_removal
The
ds_removal
tool removes a single instance of Directory Server. The server instance usually
must be running when this script is run so that the script can bind to the instance. It is also possible to
force the script to run, which may be necessary if there was an interrupted installation process or the
instance is corrupted or broken so that it cannot run.
When the instance is removed, it is shutdown and all of its configuration files are removed. Certificate
database files, like
cert8.db
and
key3.db
, are not removed, so the remaining instance directory is
renamed
removed.slapd-
instance
.
