Re: how to access DST

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
