Reinstalling the agent on a Linux Endpoint

Perform the following steps to reinstall the agent on a Linux machine:

  1. If you are removing the agent completely and are not going to reinstall it, delete the data directory by running:
$ rm -rf /opt/epops-agent/data
  1. If you are completely removing the client and are not going to reinstall or upgrade it, delete the epops-token file:
$ rm /etc/vmware/epops-token
  1. Run the following command to uninstall the Agent:
$ yum remove <AgentFullName>
  1. If you are completely removing the client and are not going to reinstall it, make sure to delete the agent object from the Inventory Explorer in vRealize Operations.
  2. You can now install the client again, the same way as we did earlier in this book.
