How To Disable Service Guard in HP-UX

How To Disable Service Guard in HP-UX 

Eg If we are installing some patches (static patches) on a cluster server and which require several reboots and we don't want to stop cluster again and again at that time we can disable service guard temporarily.

1. We can do so by commenting out the following entries in /etc/inetd.conf:

#vi /etc/inetd.conf

hacl-cfg dgram udp wait root /usr/lbin/cmclconfd cmclconfd -p
hacl-cfg stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/cmclconfd cmclconfd -c

Then save and exit. 

2. And then run the below command

#/usr/sbin/inetd -c       ->force inetd to re-read inetd.conf

3. Then diable the auto start for cluster service also

#Vi /etc/rc.config.d/cmcluster

AUTOSTART_CMCLD = 0

4. #cmquerycl -n   ->

    or 

    #cmviewcl

If the command fails, you have successfully disabled SG
