Roberto,
This certainly will work, but it may be overkill. You really just need to stop
all read-write maps, netmon, snmpCollect, and ovtopmd. Also if you have any
customized scripts or programs that update the database (for example any
rulesets
that update database fields) they would need to be stopped as well.

nvwebstop will do it.
