AIX unmounts the CD-ROM device from the /cdrom directory. Remove the CD-ROM caddy from the drive.
During installation and configuration, log files are created to track the installation process and provide diagnostic information if a problem arises. When you are satisfied that CiscoWorks Blue Maps is properly installed and operating, you can remove these files. To remove these files from your system, log in as the root user and enter the following command:
hostname# rm /tmp/cwb_install.log cwb_config.log $CWBROOT/install
Unless an error message appears, the log files are removed.
If you must de-install all files related to CiscoWorks Blue Maps, perform these steps:
Step 1 Log in as the root user. For details, see the section "Becoming the Root User."
Step 2 Start SMIT by entering the following at the command prompt:
