Using the INGMOVE Command

The INGMOVE command allows you to specify where a sysplex application group should be moved to. INGMOVE provides details of the observed status of sysplex application groups and those systems that at least one member of the sysplex application group would be able to run on.

You can use the INGMOVE command dialog to:

• Initiate a move to a specified system.
• Prepare the move of a sysplex application group.
• Reset the preference values to those defined in the policy database.
• Box the group. The currently active member receives a preference of 3200 so that if the system where it runs is terminated, no other group member is activated instead and the group becomes unavailable.

  This can be useful if, when IPLing the system that hosts the primary group member, moving that member to another system and back to its home system (that is, the system with the highest base preference value) later on takes longer than the entire IPL process.
