Creating service tools device IDs on the system

You will need to set up service tools device IDs on the system for a local console on a network configuration.

By default, the system maintains service tools device IDs automatically. You only need to do this procedure if the system option Autocreate service tools device IDs is set to 0.

Note: To perform the following procedure using system service tools (SST), select the option Work with service tools user IDs and Devices everywhere it says select Work with DST environment and skip Step 3. You must unlock the SST option before the option is usable.

Access dedicated service tools (DST) or system service tools (SST).
Select Work with DST environment.
Select Service tools device IDs.
Use option 1 to create a new service tools device ID and enter the new service tools device ID name in the first blank name field. Press Enter.
You can enter a description. Press Enter. You have finished creating a service tools device ID.
Note: The device ID and the service tools user ID must have the proper authorities granted before the remote control panel and all it's functions are available for the associated partition. To verify or change the service tools device ID attributes you can press F5 (change attributes on the "Create Service Tools Device ID" screen or enter a 7 in front of the device ID on the "Work with Service Tools Device IDs" screen.
To create additional service tools device IDs, repeat the steps starting at step 4.
Press F3 when you finish creating your service tools device IDs.

Notes:

If you reset a service tools device ID, the password becomes the name of your service tools device ID in uppercase.
If you have more than one PC connected to your console, you need to create several service tools device IDs.
Sometimes the service tools device ID password must be changed, such as when the password has to be resynchronized between the PC and the system. When a mismatch occurs in the service tools device ID password between the system and the Operations Console PC, you need to resynchronize the password by doing recovery steps on both the PC and the system.
QCONSOLE cannot be left in a reset state on the system. This is considered a security exposure.
