Performing an alternate IPL to DST (type D IPL)

You can use this procedure to perform a type D initial program load (IPL).

1. To use an alternate installation device, select the DST option Work with alternate installation device. This option is available in DST from control panel function 21 or a type D IPL.
2. Determine the removable media unit or units for an alternate IPL. Power on the removable media units.
3. Place the media that contains the Licensed Internal Code (first tape of the customer's system save, the SAVLIC, ISMD tapes, or optical device) in the removable media units. Load the media and make the media units ready. See the device information for instructions on loading the removable media.
4. Power off the system. If the system is running, end all jobs and perform the power-down procedure.
5. Select a type D IPL in manual mode.

   For information on how to select IPL options, see IPL type, mode, and speed options.

6. Power on the console.

   For more information on how to identify the primary console, see Primary consoles or alternative consoles.

7. Load the media and make the media unit ready.
8. Press the Power button to power on the system.
   Notes:

   1. Some types of removable media units automatically reset. In this condition, SRC A100 1933 (Media device not ready) might be displayed.
   2. If the installation device is an optical device, you might need to start the system again. This action will make the unit ready.

   3. If the installation device is a tape unit, system reference code (SRC) A1001933 is displayed until the device automatically makes itself ready.
   4. The removable media becomes active. There is a delay while the system loads information from the load source. While running a process, the system continuously updates SRCs on the control panel that show the status.
9. Wait for the Install Licensed Internal Code display to shown on the console. The wait varies depending on the speed of the removable media unit and the processor speed for the specific system model.
   Notes:

   1. If SRC A600 500x is displayed on the control panel, the system was not able to locate the console.

      Ensure that the console is powered on (repair if necessary). Select F21 (function 21) on the control panel (see Selecting function 21 from the control panel) to make DST available.

   2. If an SRC other than A600 500x is displayed on the control panel, go to "Starting Point for All Problems" in the problem analysis information for your system.
   The Install Licensed Internal Code display appears on the console.
   • If you want to access DST, select the Work with Dedicated Service Tools (DST) option and continue to the next step of this procedure.
   • If you want to install or restore Licensed Internal Code, select the Install Licensed Internal Code option and continue with the installation or restore instructions.
   • If you want to define the device from which the system Licensed Internal Code should be installed, select the Define alternate installation device option. This option also enables or disables the alternate installation device.
10. Reapply PTFs.
11. Sign on to DST as QSRV.
    Type QSRV as the valid user ID and get the password from the customer. If the customer has changed the full DST authority user ID or password, ask the customer for the correct values.

    Note:

    1. If prompted to change the password, be sure to provide the new (changed) password to the customer.
    2. You are limited to three sign-on attempts to DST. After three unsuccessful attempts, the service tools user ID is disabled. The system administrator with QSECOFR authority needs to reset the ID.

    The Use Dedicated Service Tools (DST) display is shown. Options are limited because the system is in the stand-alone environment. This ends the procedure.
