1. A computer program product for performing code load operations at managed components of a computer system, wherein the computer program product comprises a computer readable storage medium having program instructions executable by computational nodes in a first node group and a second node group to cause the first node group and the second node group to perform operations, the operations comprising: performing, by the first node group comprising at least one computational node in the computer system, code load operations for the managed components; writing status of the code load operations at the managed components to a status data structure while the code load operations are being performed at the managed component; transferring, by the first node group, control of the code load operations for the managed components to the second node group comprising at least computational node in the computer system while the code load operations are occurring at the managed components; and reading, by the second node group, the status data structure for the managed components to determine the status of the code load operations and continue the code load operations at the managed components, wherein the second node group continues performing the code load operations with respect to at least one of the managed components at which the first node group was performing the code load operations when control of the code load operations was transferred to the second node group before the code load operations completed at the at least one managed component.
