Parameters
- satask
- (Required) Specifies a system administrator task, such as issuing service commands that are only used in specific circumstances.
- -force
- (Optional) Overrides checking of system membership. Important: Using the force parameter might result in a loss of access. Use it only under the direction of IBM® support personnel.
- panel_name
- (Optional) Identifies the node being serviced. Note: If

Description
This command causes a node to go into service state. For example, a user might put a system node into service state to remove it from candidate state or to prevent it from automatically being added to a system again.
The -force flag is required if the action could interrupt I/O (last node in cluster or IO group). This command holds the node in service state until it is cleared using the satask stopservice command, or until the I/O process is restarted.
