Uninstall Virtual Accelerator

1. If you enabled OpenStack support, remove it now:

   # apt-get remove -y 6wind-openstack-extensions
   

2. Uninstall the Virtual Accelerator repository:

   # PRODUCT=virtual-accelerator
   # DISTRIB=ubuntu-18.04
   # PKG=6wind-${PRODUCT}-${DISTRIB}-repository
   # apt-get purge -y $PKG
   # apt-get update
   

   Note

   Change the PRODUCT to virtual-accelerator-ipsec for Virtual Accelerator IPsec.

3. Uninstall the meta-package (which will remove most dependencies):

   # apt-get autoremove -y $PRODUCT
   

4. If you enabled OpenStack, reinstall the latest openvswitch package (previously overridden by Virtual Accelerator):

   # apt-get upgrade -y openvswitch-switch
   

   Warning

   Some configuration files are conflicting between 6WIND version and the official one. Use files from the package maintainer.

5. If you enabled OpenStack, remove 6WIND packages that depended on openvswitch and were thus not removed when cleaning the Virtual Accelerator meta-package:

   # apt-get autoremove -y
   

Cleanup

1. Restart the service:

   # systemctl restart libvirt-bin
