Both Customer education and Internal IBM Marketing education teach how to do this in their courses. (I'm an instructor for both organizations). I do not have a copy of my manuals with me, but anyone who has gone through the courses (Course code Q1016 - I/AIX internally, AIX System Admin externally) can look up the steps in their manual. Read your SE, if he/she is trained, some one in your branch if your SE is not. It is in the section SA tips, near the back. The page is titled "De-installing LPP's" and the student notes section has the 8 to 10 steps required to perform the action correctly. > > I asked my SE the same question a while back.
