Determines whether a physical unit or logical unit is to be activated after the first activation of the channel-attachment major node.
ISTATUS=ACTIVE
Specifies that the physical unit or logical unit becomes active when its channel becomes active.
ISTATUS=INACTIVE
Specifies that the physical unit or logical unit remains inactive until the operator activates it.

The operator can override this value by specifying the SCOPE operand on the VARY ACT command when the major node is activated. See z/OS Communications Server: SNA Operation for information about using the VARY ACT command.

Note: You can dynamically change ISTATUS only on the LU definition statement.
