Virtual console access
Access to the Linux console is provided through the hosting i5/OS partition via a
TCP/IP-based application. Access to the console is limited to DST user ids that were granted
“remote panel key authority”. This section provides the instructions for defining the DST user
and accessing the virtual console.
Use the following steps to Create the Dedicated System Server Tools user with the correct
authorities:
1. DST users are created through System Server Tools. Type the command STRSST to start
System Server Tools. When the System Service Tools menu is displayed, select option 8
(Work with service tools user IDs and Devices).
2. When the Work with Service Tools User IDs and Devices menu is displayed, select option
1 (Service Tools user IDs).
3. When the Work with Service Tools User IDs window is displayed, enter option 1 to create
a new user (Figure 13-30).
