Chapter 8. Updating and Removing Subsystem Packages
rpm -Uvh package_name
For example:
rpm -Uvh pki-java-tools-8.0.0-4.noarch.rpm
4. Restart the Certificate System instances.
service instance_ID start
8.2. Uninstalling Certificate System Subsystems
It is possible to remove individual subsystem instances or to uninstall all packages associated with an
entire subsystem. Instances and subsystems are installed and uninstalled individually. For example, it
is possible to uninstall a DRM subsystem while leaving an installed and configured CA subsystem. It is
also possible to remove a single CA instance while leaving other CA instances on the machine.
8.2.1. Removing a Subsystem Instance
Removing an instance requires specifying the instance directory and the instance name. This
command removes all files associated with the instance (without removing the subsystem packages).
pkiremove -pki_instance_root=pki_instance_root -pki_instance_name=pki_instance_ID -force
The pki_instance_root is the directory path of the instance, such as /var/lib. The
pki_instance_name is the instance name, such as pki-ca.
TIP
Use -force with pkiremove to remove the instance without prompting for confirmation.
pkiremove -pki_instance_root=/var/lib -pki_instance_name=pki-ca1

Stopping pki-ca1:

Removing dir /var/lib/pki-ca1
Removing file /var/log/pki-ca1-install.log
Removing file /etc/init.d/pki-ca1
Removing file /usr/share/applications/pki-ca1-config.desktop
Removing file /usr/bin/dtomcat5-pki-ca1
Example 8.1. Removing a CA Instance
pkiremove removes the instance and any related files, such as the certificate databases, certificates,
keys, and associated users. It does not uninstall the subsystem packages.
