Uninstalling the PV Driver from a Linux ECS

Scenarios

When optimizing a Linux private image, you need to change the UUID in the fstab and GRUB configuration files, and install native Xen and KVM drivers on the ECS. To ensure that you can successfully install native Xen and KVM drivers, you must uninstall the PV driver from the ECS.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the ECS as user root using VNC.
  2. Run the following command to check whether the PV driver is installed in the OS:

    ps -ef | grep uvp-monitor

    The PV driver is installed in the OS if the following information is displayed:

    root     4561        1    0   Jun29 ?           00:00:00   /usr/bin/uvp-monitor
root     4567     4561    0   Jun29 ?           00:00:00   /usr/bin/uvp-monitor
root     6185     6085    0   03:04  pts/2      00:00:00   grep uvp-monitor
  3. In the VNC login window, open the CLI.

    For how to open the CLI, see the OS manual.

  4. Run the following command to uninstall the PV driver:

    /etc/.uvp-monitor/uninstall

    • The PV driver is uninstalled successfully if the following command output is displayed:
      The PV driver is uninstalled successfully. Reboot the system for the uninstallation to take effect.
    • If .uvp-monitor is not contained in the command output, go to 5.
      -bash: /etc/.uvp-monitor/uninstall: No such file or directory
  5. Perform the following operations to delete uvp-monitor that failed to take effect, preventing log overflow:
    1. Run the following command to check whether UVP user-mode programs are installed in the OS:

      rpm -qa | grep uvp

      Information similar to the following is displayed:

      libxenstore_uvp3_0-3.00-36.1.x86_64
uvp-monitor-2.2.0.315-3.1.x86_64
kmod-uvpmod-2.2.0.315-3.1.x86_64
    2. Run the following commands to delete the installation packages:

      rpm -e kmod-uvpmod

      rpm -e uvp-monitor

      rpm -e libxenstore_uvp
