There are two modes of "DST", the one usually referred to is the limited paging envirnment and requires the system to be unavailable to all users. To access this, set the front panel to "M" (Manual) MOde and IPL to the console. WHen you sign on there you are "In DST".

Note that if you select "A" or "B" IPL source you're booting from the LIC on the first disk unit and "D" IPLs from 'media' which can be Optical or Tape.

There is another "DST"(ish) mode which if you have the system running is available by signing OFF the console and then selecting option 21 then "enter" on the front panel. This mode doesn't give you all the capability of course because stuff is in use, but you can do some things there that you cannot do in "SST". SST is accessed by entering STRSST at a command line by a user with *SERVICE Special Authority.

How does one "access DST"?
This is a new install power 7 and they (remote site) have a lan console (new setup on win7 pc).
Finished hardware bootup last weekend.
The machine only has the factory installed stuff.
The software install says to verify console
and 1st step is "access DST".
I tried to google this but ibm doc failed - "bad gateway.."
