How to prevent VxVM from starting on boot
Solution
One way to prevent VxVM main daemons from starting across reboot(s)
# cd /etc/vx/reconfig.d/state.d/
# touch install-db
Install-db is a flag file that prevents vxconfigd from starting across reboots.
You will need to modify any persistent file system entries that are VxVM related, as they will fail to mount without install-db in place..
If the bootdisk is encapsulated more steps would be required. The above steps will only work for systems where VxVM does NOT manage the bootdisk. If you follow the above steps while encapsulated under VxVM your system will fail to boot.
If you are encapsulated you will need to follow different steps found in document.
