Hi,

Did you try the db2idrop command to remove the TSM instance instance previously created. This command also remove changes made to the /etc/services file ?
# /opt/tivoli/tsm/db2/instance/db2idrop tsminst1
(if tsminst1 is your instance name)

There is a technote #1379976 that explains how to uninstall COI/DE :
# . /var/ibm/common/acsi/setenv.sh
# /usr/ibm/common/acsi/bin/si_inst.sh -r -f
# rm -rf /usr/ibm/common/acsi

Best regards / Cordialement / مع تحياتي

Thanks for the tip.

It seems that the uninstaller failed to remove the contents of
/etc/tivoli/tsm/instance.info thus making the installer fail on the
next try.

I remember the old days when a TSM install was done in a minute.

Best regards

remove the entire directory containing configuration files (telling the 
installer what is installed) and the log files. I believe there is also files 
under /etc that needs to be removed, but like I said, I'm at home and have no 
access to any production machines so I cant give you the exact path.

Ärende: [ADSM-L] How to completely get rid of TSM6.2/DB2 on AIX

Hi,

I've got a problem. An installation failed when creating an instance and I
decided to uninstall and start over. I removed the installation using the
uninstall script provided. But when I ran install.bin the next time it asked
for the password of the instance owner and then failed.

So it seems something is left behind after uninstall confusing the
installer.

Any idea what it might be? Expect reinstalling AIX of course.
