NAME

       remove-ds-admin.pl - Remove all Directory Servers and Admin Server

SYNOPSIS

       remove-ds-admin.pl [-f] [-d -d ... -d] [-y] [-a]

DESCRIPTION

       Shuts  down  and  removes  all  Directory  Server  instances and the Admin Server from the
       system.  The directory server instance configuration  directories  will  have  a  .removed
       extension appended to them, which will contain the retained certificate database files.

       WARNING:  This  command  is  extremely  destructive!   It  will remove all of the data and
       configuration of all directory servers and admin servers,  with  no  chance  of  recovery.
       Therefore,  in order to actually do this, you must give the -y option.  Please use caution
       and backup your data if you want to keep it!

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below:

       -f     Force removal - continue on error - otherwise, the command will abort at the  first
              error encountered

       -d     Enable debugging - adding more -d will make output more verbose

       -y     Do  the actual processing.  Since the command is very destructive, you must provide
              the -y argument in order for the operation to proceed.  Use with  extreme  caution!
              Note, the security/certificate files are preserved for future setups.

       -a     Remove  all the security/certificate files (used with the -y option).  This ensures
              a complete clean up of the previous installation.
