6.5.2 Posting DST to the console
Dedicated Service Tools (DST) can be posted to the partition console during normal runtime.
This allows for the majority of DST functions and options to be accessed while the partition is
running without the need for a manual IPL. In order to post DST for a partition, the partition
needs to be in manual mode.
In order to post DST to the partition console, perform the following steps:
1. Expand Service Applications from the Navigation Area on the left side of HMC window,
click Service Focal Point.
2. Click Service Utilities.
3. Select desired system unit, then click the Selected pull down menu to select Operator
Panel Service Functions....
4. Select a partition to which DST will be posted, click Partition Functions pull down menu.
5. Select Activate Dedicated Service Tools (21) - i5/OS to post DST to the partition
console.
Note: Posting DST disconnects any running console job. Before posting DST, sign off the
console.
