Confirmation on if the VEM is uninstalled?

kuber.sharma · ‎08-15-2013

I was trying to remove a VEM from one of the ESXi 4.1 host using the following command:

esxcli software vib remove -n cisco-vem-v140-esx --maintenance-mode

but kept getting the following error:

Errors:

Unknown Namespace software

I then tried the running

vem-remove -d

which ran fine and the output (attached) said both unload and removing the VIB.

Now when I run vem status it says no vem found.

Also when I run "esxupdate --vib-view query | grep cisco" now, it shows the module as Uninstalled.

I just want a confimation that this VEM would still not play around ...say in case the server rebooted.

If anyone can point me towards a Cisco document which talks about the process of VEM Unistallation, it would highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Kuber,

I received the following response. Please let us know if this helps.

if "esxupdate --vib-view query | grep cisco" shows its uninstalled then it won't be activated upon reboot anymore.

below doc talks about vem uninstall commands via CLI
