How to prevent netbackup services from starting up automatically during server reboot ?

Hello,

Currently our netbackup catalogue is residing in a SAN disk. We need to physically move our master server from one location to another location. I will need to know how to temporary disable the netbackup services from temporary start-up when server reboot during this migration. Reason is we need to make sure the SAN disk containing the catalogue is detectable after the server relocation and then we manually start-up the service.

I understood that the start-up scripts are in this location :

/etc/init.d/netbackup
/etc/rc0.d/K01netbackup
/etc/rc1.d/K01netbackup
/etc/rc2.d/S77netbackup

Can I just temporary rename the filenames to prevent the automatically start-up of the netbackup services until we ascertain that we can see the SAN disk and the NB catalog directories inside the mounted SAN disk path.

mv /etc/rc0.d/K01netbackup /etc/rc0.d/_K01netbackup

mv /etc/rc1.d/K01netbackup /etc/rc1.d/_K01netbackup

mv /etc/rc2.d/S77netbackup /etc/rc2.d/_S77netbackup

K* scripts are 'kill' scripts.
S* scripts are startup scripts.

Renaming S77netbackup should be fine, but no harm in renaming K01netbackup scripts as well. 

If you rename /etc/rc0.d/K01netbackup, be sure to stop Netbackup before you reboot or shutdown.

Ok thanks, Marianne. appreciate your feedback
