Removal Instructions

File-based Transfer Component

All Migrations

At root level for each volume migrated, remove all files named PlateSpinCatalog*.dat

Workload discovery software

All migrations

  1. In the Servers view, undiscover the source (right-click, then select Undiscover).

  2. In the source workload’s Windows directory:

    • Remove all files named machinediscovery*.

    • Remove the subdirectory named platespin.

Controller software

All migrations

  1. In the Servers view, undiscover the source (right-click, then select Undiscover).

  2. Open a command prompt and change the current directory to:

    • \Program Files\platespin* (32-bit systems)

    • \Program Files (x86)\platespin (64-bit systems)

  3. Run the following command:

    ofxcontroller.exe /uninstall

  4. Remove the platespin* directory

42.2.2 Cleaning Up Linux Workloads

The following are instructions for cleaning up Linux workloads by component and use case.

Controller software

Offline migrations

In the source workload’s file system, under /boot, remove the ofx directory with its contents.

All live migrations

  1. Stop the OFX controller process:

    /etc/init.d/ofxcontrollerd stop

  2. Remove the OFX controller service:

    chkconfig --del ofxcontrollerd

  3. Clean up the OFX controller files:

    • rm -rf /usr/lib/ofx

    • rm -f /etc/init.d/ofxcontrollerd

Block-level data transfer software

All block-level migrations

  1. Check if the driver is active:

    lsmod | grep blkwatch

    If the driver is still loaded in memory, the result should contain a line, similar to the following:

    blkwatch_7616  70924  0

  2. (Conditional) If the driver is still loaded, remove it from memory:

    rmmod blkwatch_7616

  3. Remove the driver from the boot sequence:

    blkconfig -u

  4. Remove the driver files by deleting the following directory with its contents:

    rm -rf /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/platespin

    For example:

    rm -rf /lib/modules/3.0.101-63-default/platespin

    You can alternately use a variable $(uname -r) to dynamically retrieve the kernel version for the directory name:

    rm -rf /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/platespin

  5. Delete the following file:

    /etc/blkwatch.conf

LVM snapshots

Block-level migrations using LVM snapshots

  1. In the Jobs view, generate a Job Report for the failed job, then note the name of the snapshot.

  2. Remove the snapshot device by using the following command:

    lvremove snapshot_name
