enabling and disabling CMAs
From cpwiki.net

disable a CMA
- login to CMA with write privileges via SmartDashboard
- mdsenv <cma|cma_ip>
- chatter +i $FWDIR/tmp/manage.lock
this make the manage.lock file undeletable. Attempts to "disconnect" the user or even restarting the CMA will not have an effect.
re-enable
- mdsenv <cma|cma_ip>
- chatter -i $FWDIR/tmp/manage.lock
- rm $FWDIR/tmp/manage.lock
