i'm already glad we bought the integrated control panel on our 9009-41A
Power 9... althought it did lock up a few times when initially
incrementing through the functions working with the system before going
live...

Subject: New Power 9 - Access DST without IPL
Sent by: "MIDRANGE-L" <midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
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.
