Configuring the service tools server for IBM i
To access service tools on the operating system using TCP/IP and IBM® Navigator for i, you must add the service tools server to the service table.
You can add the service tools server before configuring your local area network (LAN).
To add the service
tools server to the service table, complete the following steps:
Note: Newer versions of the IBM i operating system may have already configured
the AS-STS. So skip to step 7
and use NETSTAT OPTION(*CNN) to verify that AS-STS is listening.
If you use IBM Navigator for i to perform disk unit configuration and management, you need to complete the following steps once per system:
- From IBM Navigator for i, expand System.
- Click Application Administration.
- On the Host Applications tab, expand .
- Select any of the service tools that you want to authorize: Disk Units or Service Trace. You can select more than one.
- Click OK. These functions are now available to the IBM Navigator for i users who have a service tools user ID.
After the service tools server is added to the service table, authorized users can access disk management service functions using IBM Navigator for i. Note that, as with all service tools user IDs, you can selectively grant or restrict a user to specific service functions using functional privileges.
