If your system has the i5/OS® operating
system, you can access DST by using the System Request Key only when the system
is in debug mode.
Debug mode is an environment to test programs. You can
select a function key and access DST during the IPL process. For details,
see Perform an IPL.
From the console, perform the
following steps:
- Press the System Request Key.
- Type DST on the system request line.
Note: Commands
are case-sensitive.
- Sign on to DST.
Type
QSRV as the
valid user ID and get the password from the customer. If the customer has
changed the full DST authority user ID or password, ask the customer for the
correct values. The Use Dedicated Service Tools (DST) display appears.
Notes: - If prompted for a password, be sure to give the new (changed) password
to the customer.
- Starting with V5R1, you are limited to three sign-on
attempts to DST. After three unsuccessful attempts, the service tools user
ID will be disabled. A user ID with a service tool security privilege must
reset the ID.
For details on the DST options, see DST options. This
ends the procedure.
