e. Press F3 until the DST main menu appears.
11. There are two methods for completing the necessary work in order to allow a new IP address or
service host name (interface name). The first is using an IPL. This is the recommended method
because you will have more control over when you do the remaining work on the PC. The system
will continue to use the old values until an IPL or manual intervention. The second method is to
perform the manual intervention, at this time. Perform one of the sets of steps below to complete the
network changes.
v Using an IPL
This method requires that the client reconfiguration be complete prior to establishing the next
connection using Operations Console on a network. If you are currently using the console connected
via LAN you would normally start an IPL, it is recommended that the IPL be an attended IPL, and
you can reconfigure the client during the initial stages of the IPL. You could, for example, use a
different PC as the console instead of the one you currently have connected. You could do the
configuration on that PC using the steps here, then after the IPL has been started you could
disconnect the current console PC's connection and start a connection on the other PC with the
newly created configuration. In this manner you could reconfigure the existing client at your leisure,
before the next connection to the system.
a. Start an attended IPL on the system.
b. Continue with completing the PC changes.
v Perform the manual intervention
Perform these steps from the DST or SST main menu.
Note:
a. To perform the following procedure using SST, select the option Work with service tools
user IDs and Devices everywhere it says select Work with DST environment and skip the
step Select System Devices.
a. Select Work with DST environment.
b. Select System Devices (skip this step if using SST).
c. Select Select Console.
d. Select Operations Console (LAN). The LAN adapter currently in use should be shown.
e. Press F11.
f. Press F17 to deactivate and reactivate the LAN adapter card.
Note: This will cause all LAN connected console PCs to go to Connecting console as a status.
Also, if more than one LAN connected console PC is connected, the selection of the next
console device is unpredictable.
g. Continue with completing the PC changes
Results
The PC is now ready to make a connection. If you have already performed an IPL on the system, you are
now ready to reconnect using the new network data.
