Uninstall the Connector software to troubleshoot issues or to permanently remove the software from the host. The steps that you need to use depends on the deployment mode that you're using. Once a Connector has been removed from your environment, you can remove it from BlueXP.
Uninstall the Connector when using standard or restricted mode
If you're using BlueXP in standard mode or restricted mode (in other words, the Connector host has outbound connectivity), then you should follow the steps below to uninstall the Connector software.
-
Connect to the Linux VM for the Connector.
-
From the Linux host, run the uninstallation script:
/opt/application/netapp/service-manager-2/uninstall.sh [silent]silent runs the script without prompting you for confirmation.
The Connector software is now uninstalled from the Linux host.

Select the Connector drop-down from the BlueXP header.
-
Select Manage Connectors.
-
Select the action menu for an inactive Connector and select Remove Connector.
-
Enter the name of the Connector to confirm and then select Remove.
