Removing the DCSX Service Dependency in a System Startup

The preceding example sets the DCSX service as a dependency for the Hyper-V service.

Under certain circumstances, it may be necessary to remove the DCSX service dependency in a system startup.

In the following example, the DCSX service is removed by reconfiguring the existing dependencies without DCSX; therefore, the Hyper-V service will start without the DCSX service. Depending on your specific Virtual SAN configuration, different and/or additional configuration steps may be necessary to achieve the same result.

1. Open a command window. The currently configured service dependencies for the Hyper-V service can be queried by entering this command:

   SC QC VMMS

   The services are listed in the DEPENDENCIES section.

2. In this case, the DCSX service is omitted and the other dependencies RPCSS and WINMGMT are reconfigured.

   SC CONFIG VMMS DEPEND=RPCSS/WINMGMT
