Thank you for the response Steve. I've tried the RPM uninstall but it says that it's not installed already. No worries though. I've decided to just rebuild my cluster and start from scratch. Thank you all for the help!

If OSCAR is complaining about it already being installed I'm guessing it was installed from rpms so then you should be able to just use rpm to uninstall it. Simple. Like Bernard says though you will want to keep your config files so you might want to back them up prior to doing this. It might also be possible to preserver your historical rrdtool data if you were really tricky too. I don't know how compatible that would be between versions of ganglia but if the rrdtool stuff does not change drastically it might work. -- Steven A.

How would you go about uninstalling it though? Thank you for the responses. :-) _____ From: Bernard Li [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 28, 2005 1:32 AM To: Johnston Michael J Contr AFRL/DES; [email protected] Subject: RE: [Ganglia-general] Uninstalling Ganglia for Oscar Hi Mike: When you install OSCAR, there is a step which lets you choose what packages are installed by default - you can unselect Ganglia and it won't be installed. Alternatively, what you can do is uninstall the installed Ganglia (make sure you keep your configuration files), install OSCAR (with Ganglia), then simply copy over the old configuration and restart the daemons. Either way will work.

My problem is that I'm trying to install Oscar and it already has Ganglia built into it. When I try and do the server install it tells me that I have a "Conflict" of versions. I can't seem to find a way to uninstall Ganglia off my cluster automatically. Is there such a way? I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks again! Mike
