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.
