Confirmation on if the VEM is uninstalled?

[kuber.sharma]

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 asUninstalled.

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.

You have posted this in the wrong forum.  To get better help, move it to the server network forum.

Any help?

That should do it.

There is a developer options with I think -s or -r that will clean out more stuff but as long as you have removed the host from the N1KV DVS in vCenter and run vem-remove you should be fine.
