Uninstall View Agent on a Linux Virtual Machine

To uninstall View Agent on a Linux virtual machine, you use the uninstall_viewagent.sh script. You also must remove the Horizon 6 for Linux configuration files from the machine.

Prerequisites

• Verify that the machine was removed from the desktop pool and from Horizon 6 . See Remove an Unmanaged Machine from a Manual Desktop Pool and Remove Registered Machines from View.

Procedure

1. Open a terminal window on the virtual machine and run the View Agent uninstall script.

   For example:

   sudo /usr/lib/vmware/viewagent/bin/uninstall_viewagent.sh

   The script stops View Agent processes, deletes the View Agent service, and deletes the View Agent installation directory, /usr/lib/vmware/viewagent.

2. Manually delete the Horizon 6 for Linux configuration files, located in the /etc/vmware/ directory.

   If you intend to reinstall View Agent (for example, to upgrade to a later View Agent version), you do not have to delete these configuration files.

   delete /etc/vmware/viewagent-machine.cfg 
   delete /etc/vmware/viewagent-config.txt 
   delete /etc/vmware/jms 
   delete /etc/vmware/ssl
