How MV and MVT Commands Move the Operation of a Resource

During a move operation, the following actions occur:

  1. If the operation mode of the resource is AUTOMATED, it is set to MANUAL.
  2. The resource is stopped or inactivated in the current system.
  3. Control of the resource is transferred to the target system depending on whether the resource is in a local system image or shared system image.

For resources in local system images:

Note: For a successful move operation on a local resource, the resource must also be defined in the target system image.

  1. The operation mode of the resource is set to OFF, removing the resource from the monitors. The current system no longer has control of the resource.
  2. The resource is activated on the target system (unless it is INACTIVE and AUTOMATED). You can override this action, individually or for all resources.
  3. The MANUAL override is removed, but not if the resource was INACTIVE and AUTOMATED, and you requested activation.
  4. The operation mode of the definition in the target system image is set to the value before Step 1. The status of the resource is redisplayed under the target system image. The target system has control of the resource.

For resources in shared system images:

  1. The resource is activated on the target system (unless it is INACTIVE and AUTOMATED). You can override this action, individually or for all resources.
  2. The home system of the resource is changed to the target system. You can override this action, individually or for all resources.
  3. The MANUAL override is removed, but not if the resource was INACTIVE and AUTOMATED, and you requested activation.
