Chapter 11. Uninstalling OpenShift AI

You can use Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager to safely uninstall Red Hat OpenShift AI from your OpenShift cluster.

Prerequisites

Credentials for Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager (https://console.redhat.com/openshift/).
Administrator access to the OpenShift cluster.
For AWS clusters, you have backed up the EBS volume containing your Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs). See Amazon Web Services documentation: Create Amazon EBS snapshots for more information.
For GCP clusters, you have backed up the persistent disk containing your Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs). See Google Cloud documentation: Create and manage disk snapshots for more information.

Procedure

Log in to Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager (https://console.redhat.com/openshift/).
Click Clusters.
The Clusters page opens.
Click the name of the cluster that hosts the instance OpenShift AI to uninstall.
The Details page for the cluster opens.
Click the Add-ons tab and locate the Red Hat OpenShift Data Science tile.
Click Uninstall.
This process takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. Do not manually delete any resources while uninstalling OpenShift AI, as this can interfere with the uninstall process.
OpenShift AI is uninstalled and any persistent volume claims (PVCs) associated with your OpenShift AI instance are deleted. However, any user groups for OpenShift AI that you previously created remain on your cluster.

Verification

In Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager, on the Add-ons tab for the cluster, confirm that the OpenShift Data Science tile does not show the Installed state.
In your OpenShift cluster, click Home Projects and confirm that the following project namespaces are not visible:
- redhat-ods-applications
- redhat-ods-monitoring
- redhat-ods-operator
