System paging environments
The amount of assistance that software provides for service
depends on how you perform the system IPL. The service tools and functions
that are available depend on how you access DST and which operating
system is in use.
Stand-alone paging (nonpaging)
You can access dedicated service tools (DST) while the system is in the stand-alone paging environment, but not all DST options are available. In this environment, there is no operating system available, and only some functions of Licensed Internal Code are operational.
Limited paging
The limited paging environment is the first servicing environment you access when you begin to start the system in Manual mode. This environment contains all the functions of the Licensed Internal Code, including storage management.
Full paging
The full paging environment is used during normal system operation. The DST options vary depending on the release level of the operating system.
