xxxxxxxx
Each word is 8 characters only and displayed individually. If you want word 17, you have to request
function 17.
The data provided in the words can be accessed using many different methods.
Important: In order to know where you are in the process the following information is provided:
v Word 17 of the SRC D1008065 will contain the the number of function 65s you have
done. When it reaches a count of 7, the reset of the service tools device ID password
will take place. Word 18 will then be set to 00000000.
v Word 18 will show 00000001 until you have entered the seventh function 65. When the
reset has completed, this word will be set to 00000000 unless more than five minutes
have elapsed.
Note: If you enter function 65 more than seven times, the count will start over.
3. Use one of the following methods to reset the QCONSOLE service tools device ID depending on the
partition type:
v For independent systems or primary partitions, follow these steps:
a. From the control panel, use the Up or Down buttons so that Function/Data display shows 25.
Then press the Enter button. The Function/Data display should show 25 00.
b. Use the Up button once to increment the data to 26. Then, press the Enter button. The system will
most likely respond with 01 B in the Function/Data display.
Note: If the system responds with 65 FF repeat steps a and b again.
c. Using the Down button, decrement the data to 65, and then press the Enter button. The system
will respond with 65 00. After processing the function the system will respond with a D1008065.
Repeat this step so that you have entered 7 function 65s. You will have five minutes to complete
this task. When the seventh 65 is entered and if it is found that greater than five minutes have
elapsed, the reset will not be processed and the count will return to zero. Check WORD17 to
verify that the system handled each request. Entering the 65s quickly may cause the system to
miss the entries.
v For secondary partitions, follow these steps using the console on the primary partition:
a. Access Dedicated Service Tools (DST) or System Service Tools (SST).
Note: You must unlock the SST option before the option is usable.
b. Select Work with system partitions.
c. Select Work with partition status.
Note: If the partition on which the reset will be performed is not in manual mode, you need to
force the partition into manual mode by placing a 10 on the line for the partition selection
area before continuing.
d. Enter a 65 on the line for the partition to be reset, then press Enter.
e. Repeat this step so that you have entered 7 function 65s. You will have five minutes to complete
this task. When the seventh 65 is entered and more than five minutes have elapsed, the reset will
not be processed and the count will return to zero.
