Configure a service tools server for DST for the virtual optical device to use
The type of system and configuration determines what type of setup is required to configure the Service Tools Server.
If Operations Console with LAN Connectivity is configured, then there is no additional setup required. If Operations Console with LAN Connectivity is not configured, then a LAN adapter or IOP must be tagged, depending on the model of your system.
One way to help determine whether your client system has
a service tools server for DST configured:
- Log on to SST.
- Select option 8, Work with service tools user IDs and Devices.
- Press F5.

Note: If you do not see a valid IP address, then the service
tools server is not configured. If you do see a valid IP address,
this does not always indicate that the server is configured correctly.
To simplify the tagging process, PF13 allows selecting the resource and eliminates the need for having to temporarily configure Operations Console on the partition.
Note: If you use the same port (for example, gigabit adapter)
for the Service Tools Server that is used for TCP/IP, ensure that
you end TCP/IP (ENDTCP) and vary off the TCP/IP line before configuring
the Service Tools Server (STS). Only gigabit adapters can be shared.
The following steps allow you to select and configure the Service
Tools Server (STS):
- Start System Service Tools (STRSST).
- Work with service tools user IDs and Devices (Option 8).
- Select STS LAN adapter (F13) to see available adapters. If there are no available adapters that are listed and you plan to tag a gigabit adapter, press F21 to show all adapters.
- Press Enter.
- Enter the TCP/IP information. Have your network administrator provide you with a valid TCP/IP address when you enter this information.
- Press F7 (Store).
- Press F14 (Activate).
