Using the Portworx Operator, you can efficiently uninstall Portworx from your clusters. This can be achieved by updating the StorageCluster object, and you have the option to either keep the data on your drives or wipe them completely.

  • Uninstall: will remove the Kubernetes objects, Portworx systemctl service, /etc/pwx and /opt/pwx directories, and all traces of Portworx on the nodes. The drives will not be formatted and none the Portworx Metadata in the KVDB will be deleted. You may need to Uninstall Portworx if you installed Portworx in the wrong namespace.
  • Uninstall and wipe: will remove all of the resources listed in the "Uninstall" procedure, and also removes (formats) all data from your disks permanently, including the Portworx metadata. You may want to perform an uninstall and wipe when you decommission a cluster.

Prerequisites

  • A successfully deployed Portworx Operator on your cluster.
