After deploying the Ops Center OVA, you can stop the services of products that you do not use, and specify not to start the services when the OS starts.

After the OVA is deployed, as a best practice, we recommend that you remove any products that are not being used. If you decide not to remove them, you can use the opsvmservicectl command to stop multiple product services at the same time. You can also use the command to change the setting so that the services do not start when the OS starts.

Note: The opsvmservicectl command is installed with version 10.1.0 or a later of the Ops Center OVA. If the individual installer or a version of the OVA earlier than 10.1.0 was used, uninstall any unnecessary products.

After you deploy the OVA and finish the configuration using the setup tool (opsvmsetup).

  1. From a VMware vSphere client, log in to the guest OS as the root user.
  2. Run the opsvmservicectl command to stop the services for the products that are not needed.
    Format
    opsvmservicectl {disable|enable} product-name [product-name ...]
    Options
    disable
    Stops the services for the specified products and prevents them from starting automatically when the OS starts. After you stop the services, the products remain registered in Common Services.
    enable
    Starts the services for the specified products and changes the setting so that the services automatically start when the OS starts.

    Note: Do not perform an upgrade installation of a product that is disabled by using the opsvmservicectl command, because the product might not operate correctly.
  3. Check the results by running the following command:
    opsvmservicectl status
  4. To delete the products, log in to the Hitachi Ops Center Portal and remove them.
