Configure A Service Host Name - IBM E Server i Series Manual

4. 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.
5. Enter the service tools device ID password. Enter it again for verification. You
may enter a description.
Note: The service tools device ID password is case-sensitive.
Press Enter. You have finished creating a service tools device ID.
6. 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.
7.
Notes:
1. If you have to reset a service tools device ID, the password becomes the name
of your service tools device ID in uppercase.
2. If you have a logical partition server or have more than one PC connected to
your console, you should create several service tools device IDs.
3. Sometimes the service tools device ID password has to be changed, such as
when the password has to be resynchronized between the PC and the server.
When a mismatch occurs in the service tools device ID password between the
server and the Operations Console PC, you need to resynchronize the password
by performing recovery steps on both the PC and the server. For more
information, see Resynchronize the PC and service tools device ID password.
For additional information on service tools concepts, see Service tools.

Configure a service host name

iSeries service host name is the name that identifies the iSeries service connection
on your network that is used for service tools, which includes an Operations
Console local console on a network (LAN) configuration. This is assigned by your
system or network administrator. You need a service host name anytime a console
or remote control panel is being connected using a network connection. One reason
to be adding this function is when a server has been logically partitioned and
though the primary may have a non-networked console, a remote control panel to
a secondary partition is going to be used. Since the data for the logical partition
comes from the primary, a service host name is required.
There are two methods to create a service host name.
v The first is during the manufacturing process for a system that has Operations
Console local console on a network (LAN) configuration ordered. The LAN
adapter is installed and the correct console type is specified. Then, when the
user gets the system the Operations Console configuration wizard is supplied
with the customer network parameters, including the service host name, and
during the initial connection this data finishes the server configuration for the
network.
v The second method to create a service host name is by using an existing console.
This method could be used during a migration or an upgrade before
disconnecting your old console. When using the following procedure, you can
either verify or create the configuration for the iSeries service connection. You
can find the service host name by going into Dedicated Service Tools (DST) on
the partition that you are configuring and use the Configure Service Tools
Adapter display. Enter the same name one the PC as the existing service host
name defined in DST. To locate the service host name:
