The following options are available in the full paging environment for all operating
systems:
vPerform an IPL
vInstall the operating system
vWork with Licensed Internal Code
vWork with disk units
vWork with DST environment
vStart a service tool
vWork with remote service support
vWork with system partitions
vWork with system capacity
vWork with system security
Note: The following options are operating system-dependent. For a list of the
options available for your operating system, see “DST in OS/400 full paging
environment”on page 281.
vSelect DST console mode
vResume operating system display
vPerform automatic installation of the operating system
vSave Licensed Internal Code
For a description of each option, see “DST options”on page 10.
Attention: For systems with logical partitions, performing an IPL on the primary
partition causes the secondary partitions to be powered down. Failing to power
down these secondary partitions will cause an abnormal power-down on the
secondary partitions and possible loss of data.
Accessing Dedicated Service Tools
You can start dedicated service tools (DST) in several ways:
vPerforming an IPL to DST (see “Performing an IPL to DST”).
vPressing the System Request key while the system is operational (see “Pressing
the System Request Key while the system is operational”on page 7).
vSelecting function 21 while the system is operational (see “Selecting Function 21
while the system Is operational”on page 7).
This is available from the primary partition only.
vPerforming an alternate IPL to DST (type D IPL) (see “Performing an alternate
IPL to DST (type D IPL)”on page 8).
After performing a type D IPL on a primary partition, the first step in DST must
be configuration recovery.
vUsing the function key F16 (which is not displayed) while in DST debug mode
during a step-mode IPL.
Performing an IPL to DST
This procedure is for the entire system, or if logical partitions are installed, for the
primary partition. For secondary partitions, see “Performing an IPL to DST for
secondary partitions”on page 6.
