Best way to block ServiceGuard startup?

[Adam Garsha]

Is there a file that I can edit to block SG from trying to startup everything on reboot?

I need to do some SG maintenance and push out a new clusterconfig to fix an issue and remove a node. The problem is, systems keep hanging at SG... and I have to get to runlevel 3 to push the files (correct?)

change the value in /etc/rc.config.d/cmcluster from 1 to 0
This will stop the node from trying to start cluster activities

Maybe /etc/rc.config.d/cmcluster -->
AUTOSTART_CMCLD

modify "1" to "0" in /etc/rc.config.d/cmcluster file so that cluster won't be formed even if server rebooted.

Modify /etc/cmcluster/cmclconf.ascii file to do maintenance or whatever then change /etc/rc.config.d/cmcluster file to make variable to "1" to bring up cluster manually. Once you change it to "1", cluster can come up automatically in the event of system reboots.
