Commvault Hyperscale X RA - prevent autostart of services

Hi Michael,

Is there a reason behind wanting to block the CVFS services from starting?

If you’re performing maintenance on the nodes, you can manually stop CVFS services for a single node or cluster entirely.

• Single node: https://documentation.commvault.com/2024e/essential/stopping_and_starting_hyperscale_x_node.html
• Cluster-wide: https://documentation.commvault.com/2024e/essential/stopping_and_starting_hyperscale_x_cluster.html

Rebooting the node will automatically start the CVFS services if these are performed. I may also have to double check whether manually disabling the aforementioned services will be reverted, but I know this is highly discouraged and not something we wish to communicate with customers due to the responsibility involved as well as the repurcussions.

Hi Jon

I'm relatively cautious when it comes to installing BIOS and firmware updates, and I always update the BIOS first on its own, followed by the rest of the firmware. It would be easier if the Hedvig services didn’t start automatically.
