Cisco ASA uninstalling SFR module

[NetworkMonkey101]

I disabled monitor and faiover for SFR module and I am now attempting to uninstall. I used the uninstall command and did a show module but not it is showing as still installed.

I attempted to uninstall again but it all states the below:

FW/act# sw-module module sfr uninstall

Unable to uninstall Module sfr, it does not have a software image installed.

@NetworkMonkey101 the correct procedure would be

hosttname# sw-module module ips shutdown
hostname# sw-module module ips uninstall
hostname# reload

Try reloading after uninstalling the module.

@NetworkMonkey101 I tested on my lab ASA, uninstalling and rebooting. The image is uninstalled, as confirmed by "sfr Unknown No Image Present" the SFR hardware is still present just without an image - for when you reinstall. What is your concern?

[NetworkMonkey101]

Ok, I was given a couple of tasks.

1. Disable failover monitoring server and disable redirection traffic to FP service - completed

2. Uninstall the firepower modules from the firewalls and decom. I thought this was the correct process unless I am missing something?

@NetworkMonkey101 you have uninstalled the software image correctly, so what else is left?
