Define Shared Resources in Local System Images

For the MV and MVT commands to be successful, you should define the shared resources to the affected local system images.

Note: If your product supports shared system images, you do not need to perform this procedure.

To define shared resources

1. Define the required resources to the system image that normally controls those resources.

   The resources are defined for normal operation.

2. Duplicate the relevant resource definitions, resource relationships, availability map, and processes to the system images that you want to include in the set of load sharing systems.

   Note: The MV and MVT commands use the specified class and name in a definition to identify the resource. You do not need to duplicate the other information if you do not want to.

   The resources are defined to the load sharing systems.

3. Set the operation mode of the duplicate resource definitions to OFF.

   These definitions are initially dormant.

4. If a resource is part of a service, specify all systems for that resource in the service definition.

   The service is then able to track that resource as it is moved from system to system.
