New Power 9 - Access DST without IPL

Google is failing me. On this new Power 9, after the initial load of the OS, I am trying to get to DST. (OK I broke down and IPL'd to DST.)

When signing in to SST the default passwords are all expired so you cannot change them or access SST.

In the old days, you would open the system console and use the real control panel to set the console into DST.

This new system, with the new Power HMC and the very different interface, I could not find the VCP to put the partition into DST.

Basically I needed to change the system security so I could change the SST passwords and get in to see how the disks were configured.

I have not configured any IP on the system so the only way is to connect to the console via the HMC. (Latest and greatest software.)

Any hints for future reference? I already broke down and did a manual IPL to access DST and change my default passwords.
