Remove xCAT
===========
**We're sorry to see you go!** Here are some steps for removing the xCAT product.
Clean Up xCAT Related Configuration
-----------------------------------
1. To clean up the node information from dhcp ::
makedhcp -d -a
2. To clean up the node information in tftpboot ::
nodeset all offline
3. To clean up the node information from ``/etc/hosts`` (optional)
Keeping xCAT nodes information in ``/etc/hosts`` is harmless, but if you really want to remove them from ``/etc/hosts`` run: ::
makehosts -d all
4. To clean up the node information from DNS (optional)
After removing all the nodes from ``/etc/hosts``, run below command to clean up the node information from DNS. ::
makedns -n
Stop xCAT Service
-----------------
1. Stop xCAT service ::
service xcatd stop
2. Stop xCAT related services(Optional)
XCAT uses various network services on the management node and service nodes, the network services setup by xCAT may need to be cleaned up on the management node and service nodes before uninstalling xCAT.
* **NFS** : Stop nfs service, unexport all the file systems exported by xCAT, and remove the xCAT file systems from ``/etc/exports``.
* **HTTP**: Stop http service, remove the xcat.conf in the http configuration directory.
* **TFTP**: Stop tftp service, remove the tftp files created by xCAT in tftp directory.
* **DHCP**: Stop dhcp service, remove the configuration made by xCAT in dhcp configuration files.
* **DNS** : Stop the named service, remove the named entries created by xCAT from the named database.
Remove xCAT Files
-----------------
1. Remove the xCAT RPMs
There is no easy way to distinct all the packages depending by xCAT. For packages shipped by xCAT, you can remove them by the commands below.
[RHEL and SLES] ::
rpm -qa |grep -i xcat
[Ubuntu] ::
dpkg -l | awk '/xcat/ { print $2 }'
If you want to remove more cleanly. below list maybe helpful for you. They are the packages list of xcat installation tarball. These list are the whole RPMs list, it's possible for some RPMs not to be installed due to them are not suitable for your environment. Please do judgment by yourself.

rm -rf /etc/xcat
