Specify the Operation Mode

The operation mode specifies how the defined resource operates. During operation, the global operation mode of the system image can restrict the specified mode.

The global operation mode can be either AUTOMATED or MANUAL, with the former having a higher rank. If the global operation mode is MANUAL, the resource operation mode of AUTOMATED is forced to MANUAL during operation.

Note: For information about how to set the global operation mode, see the Administration Guide.

To specify the operation mode, specify AUTOMATED, IGNORED, MANUAL, OFF, or STARTAUTO in the Operation Mode field.
