hi, 

After restarting the server in AIX,HP,Solrais
Is there a way to prevent commvault service from starting automatically?

Best answer by Jos Meijer

Not sure if it is different for AIX, but with Unix in general you can run:

sudo systemctl disable commvault

Resulting in:

Removed symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/commvault.Instance001.service.
Removed symlink /etc/systemd/system/commvault.service.
Removed symlink /etc/systemd/system/simpana.service.
Removed symlink /etc/systemd/system/simpana.Instance001.service.

I am curious why we’d want to disable our services from startup, because by disabling this your also disabling the shutdown of our services as part of the shutdown process (or reboot). Which means if you manually don’t stop our services before a shutdown or reboot, the lock files won’t be cleaned up and will be present when the commvault services are started again - producing a startup failure and further manual intervention before they would start.
