B<rmkitcomp> [B<-V>|B<--verbose>] [B<-u>|B<--uninstall>] [B<-f>|B<--force>] [B<--noscripts>] B<-i> I<osimage>  I<kitcompname_list>

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The B<rmkitcomp> command removes kit components from an xCAT osimage.  All the kit component attribute values that are contained in the osimage will be removed, and the kit comoponent meta rpm and package rpm could be uninstalled by <-u|--uninstall> option.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 10

=item B<-u|--uninstall>

All the kit component meta rpms and package rpms in otherpkglist will be uninstalled during genimage for stateless image and updatenode for stateful nodes.

=item B<-h|--help>

Display usage message.

=item B<-V|--verbose>

Verbose mode.

=item B<-v|--version>

Command version.

=item B<-f|--force>

0  The command completed successfully.

1  An error has occurred.

=head1 EXAMPLES

1. To remove a kit component from osimage

rmkitcomp -i rhels6.2-ppc64-netboot-compute comp-test1-1.0-1-rhels-6.2-ppc64

Output is similar to:

kitcomponents comp-test1-1.0-1-rhels-6.2-ppc64 were removed from osimage rhels6.2-ppc64-netboot-compute successfully

2. To remove a kit component even it is still used as a dependency of other kit component.

rmkitcomp -f -i rhels6.2-ppc64-netboot-compute comp-test1-1.0-1-rhels-6.2-ppc64

Output is similar to:

kitcomponents comp-test1-1.0-1-rhels-6.2-ppc64 were removed from osimage rhels6.2-ppc64-netboot-compute successfully

3. To remove a kit component from osimage and also remove the kit component meta RPM and package RPM.  So in next genimage for statelss image and updatenode for statefull nodes, the kit component meta RPM and package RPM will be uninstalled.

rmkitcomp -u -i rhels6.2-ppc64-netboot-compute comp-test1-1.0-1-rhels-6.2-ppc64

Output is similar to:

kitcomponents comp-test1-1.0-1-rhels-6.2-ppc64 were removed from osimage rhels6.2-ppc64-netboot-compute successfully
