When mounting file systems in the sysplex, you can specify a prioritized system list to indicate where the file system should or should not be moved to when the owning system leaves the sysplex changes due to any of the following situations:

• A soft shutdown request was issued.
• A dead system takeover took place (when a system leaves the sysplex without a prior soft shutdown).
• A PFS terminates on the owning system.
• A request to move ownership of the file system was issued.

There are different ways to specify the system list.

• On the MOUNT statement in BPXPRMxx, specify the automove keyword, including the indicator and system list.
• For the TSO MOUNT command, specify the automove keyword, including the indicator and system list.
• Use the mount shell command.
• Use the ISHELL MOUNT interface.
• Specify the MNTE_SYSLIST variable for REXX.
• Specify the indicator and system list for the AUTOMOVE option in the chmount shell command.
• Specify the indicator and system list for the AUTOMOVE option in the SETOMVS operator command.
