Disabling the Servant Facility

To disable the servant facility

1. Enter the following:

   vmdirect config product
   

   This opens the PRODUCT CONFIG file for editing in XEDIT.

2. On the SERVANT record, change ON to OFF:

   SERVANT ON prefix timeout numfree numactive
   SERVANT OFF prefix timeout numfree numactive
   

   Save this XEDIT session and exit the PRODUCT CONFIG file.

The Servant Facility is disabled as soon as you exit the PRODUCT CONFIG file. CA VM:Director deletes all servant machines that are not attached to a process. Those that are attached to a process are deleted when the process ends.
