there used to occasionally be a problem with First Watch, where
sometimes the disks didn't mount when they failed over to another
server... but even then, it wasn't server reboot where I prevented the
autostart but in the First Watch scripts (and I have it on reliable
authority that that's been fixed.... and it was a number of years ago)
I can see no valid reason other than contingency, where you might want
to make sure everything is ready and available and might NOT want the
database available until you'd checked out the failover
