DST in OS/400 limited paging environment

DST operates in stand-alone (non-paging), limited, and full paging environments. The DST tools and functions vary depending on the paging environment (see “System paging environments” on page 2) and the OS/400 operating system used.

The limited paging environment is available when you perform an IPL to DST. The following options appear on the Use Dedicated Service Tools (DST) display for the OS/400 operating system:

vInstall the operating system

vPerform an IPL

vPerform automatic installation of the operating system

vSelect DST console mode

vStart a service tool

vWork with disk units

vWork with DST environment

vWork with Licensed Internal Code

vWork with remote service support

vWork with system partitions

vWork with save storage and restore storage

vWork with system capacity

vWork with system security

For details on each DST option, see “DST options” on page 10. For general information on DST, see Chapter 1, “Dedicated Service Tools (DST)” on page 1.

System Service Tools (SST)

The system service tools (SST) run one or more Licensed Internal Code (LIC) or hardware service functions under the control of the operating system. To determine whether the OS/400 operating system is running on your server, see “Determining the dominant operating system” on page 126. SST allows you to perform service functions concurrently with the customer’s application programs. The printer that is used for output must be an SCS-type data stream printer that is attached to the same workstation input-output processor (IOP) or storage media unit.

Accessing system service tools

You can access SST only when the system is in the full-paging environment (see “System paging environments” on page 2). The full paging environment is used during normal system operation. All disk units, the Licensed Internal Code, and the operating system are available.
