Veritas Volume Manager 5.1 SP1 Administrator"s Guide (5900-1506, April 2011)

To send mail to other users, add the user name to the line that starts vxattachd
in the /sbin/init.d/vxvm-recover startup script, and reboot the system.
If you do not want a site to be recovered automatically, kill the vxattachd daemon,
and prevent it from restarting. If you stop vxattachd, the automatic plex
reattachment also stops. To kill the daemon, run the following command from
the command line:
# ps -afe
Locate the process table entry for vxattachd, and kill it by specifying its process
ID:
# kill -9 PID
If there is no entry in the process table for vxattachd, the automatic site
reattachment feature is disabled.
To prevent the automatic site reattachment feature from being restarted, comment
out the line that starts vxattachd in the /sbin/init.d/vxvm-recover startup
script.
