Remove configurations
You can remove the Privilege Manager for Unix Server or PM Agent configurations by using the –u option with the following commands:
- pmsrvconfig to remove the Privilege Manager for Unix Server configuration
- pmjoin to remove the PM Agent configuration
Take care when you remove the configuration from a policy server, particularly if the policy server is a primary server with secondary policy servers in the policy group, as agents joined to the policy group will be affected.

Upgrade Privilege Manager for Unix
Privilege Manager for Unix supports a direct upgrade installation from version 6.0. The Privilege Manager for Unix software in this release is provided using platform-specific installation packages.
If you are currently running Privilege Manager for Unix 6.0, it may be possible to perform a direct upgrade installation depending on the package management software on your platform (Note: Direct upgrade installations are not possible with Solaris.pkg packages). If you perform a direct upgrade installation, your previous configuration details are retained. Where a direct upgrade is not possible, you must first remove the previously installed package, and install and configure Privilege Manager for Unix as a new product installation.
Before you upgrade
Because the Privilege Manager for Unix 7.1 original platform installer packages do not provide an automated rollback script, One Identity highly recommends that you back up important data such as your license, pm.settings file, policy, and log files before you attempt to upgrade your existing Privilege Manager for Unix policy servers.
To install Privilege Manager for Unix 7.1, change to the directory where the install package is located for your platform and run the package installer. See Installing the Privilege Manager for Unix packages for details about how to install the Privilege Manager for Unix software.
