Now add (as the user MAINT) the guest to the user directory with DIRM FOR LINUX1 ADD. Set up the environment of the user with: DIRM DIRECT DIRM USER WITHPASS The last command returns a reader file number. This number is needed for the next command: RECEIVE <number> USER DIRECT A (REPL) 18 Architecture-Specific Information Assign the directories to the guest with DISKMAP USER DIRECT A. If you do not have the dirmaint option available, refer to the IBM documentation to set up this user. Proceed with Section 2. 4. 2, "z/VM Installation" (page 21). 2. 4 IPLing the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Installation System 2. 4. 1 LPAR Installation There are different ways to IPL SUSE Linux Enterprise Server into an LPAR. The preferred way is to use the Load from CD-ROM or server feature of the SE or HMC. IPL from DVD-ROM Mark the LPAR to install and select Load from CD-ROM or server. Leave the field for the file location blank or enter the path to the root directory of the first DVD then select Continue. Operating system messages should now show the kernel boot messages. IPL from FCP-Attached SCSI DVD You can use the Load procedure by selecting SCSI as Load type to IPL from SCSI. Enter the WWPN (Worldwide port name) and LUN Logical unit number) provided by your SCSI bridge or storage (16 digits--do not omit the trailing 0s). Use your FCP adapter as Load address and perform an IPL. Preparing for Installation 19 Figure 2. 1 Example: IPL from ESCON or FICON Attached Tape If you cannot IPL from DVD-ROM, create a channel attached tape from which to IPL the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server installation image. Use the LOAD button in the SE or HMC with the tape device address as the load address to IPL the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server installation system. One is to copy the files: /boot/tapeipl. ikr /boot/parmfile /boot/initrd as binary files from DVD 1 (for example, using FTP from a Linux workstation). Name them SLES10 IMAGE SLES10 PARM SLES10 INITRD 20 Architecture-Specific Information and write them onto a tape with the REXX from the example. IMPORTANT: Transferring Binaries using FTP Do not upload the files as fixed 80. Example 2. 3 REXX Script to Create an IPLable Tape 'REWIND 181' 'FILEDEF IN1 DISK' SLES10 IMAGE A 'FILEDEF IN2 DISK' SLES10 PARM A 'FILEDEF IN3 DISK' SLES10 INITRD A 'FILEDEF OUT TAP1 (RECFM F BLOCK 1024 LRECL 1024 PERM' say 'Writing: ' left(file1, 23) 'MOVEFILE IN1 OUT' say 'Writing: ' left(file2, 23) 'MOVEFILE IN2 OUT' say 'Writing: ' left(file3, 23) 'MOVEFILE IN3 OUT' say 'Done. ' 'REWIND 181' exit The tape in this script is attached as 181. Adjust the script to your needs. 2. 4. 2 z/VM Installation This section is about IPLing the installation system to install SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for IBM System z on a z/VM system. IPL from the z/VM Reader You need a working TCP/IP connection and an FTP client program within your newly defined z/VM guest to transfer the installation system via FTP. Make the content of the directory /boot/ s390x on DVD 1 of the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for IBM System z available by FTP within your network. From this directory, get the files vmrdr. ikr, initrd, parmfile, and sles10. exec. It is important to Preparing for Installation 21 copy vmrdr. ikr (the Linux kernel) and initrd (the installation image) as binary files, so use the binary transfer mode. In this example, the required files are accessible from an FTP server at the IP address 192. 168. 0. 3 and the login is lininst. It may differ for your network. 22 Architecture-Specific Information Example 2. 4 Transferring the Binaries via FTP FTP 192. 168. 0. 3 VM TCP/IP FTP Level 530 Connecting to 192. 168. 0. 3, port 21 220 ftpserver FTP server (Version wu-2. 4. 2-academ[BETA-18](1) Fri Jan 30 14:58:32 GMT 2009) ready. [. . . ] Note that this is distinct from HWAddr, which contains the default MAC address as detected by linuxrc. PortNo=<0|1> For osa network devices, specify the port number (provided the device supports this feature). Each of the interfaces requires certain setup options: · Interfaces ctc and escon (CTC and ESCON are no longer officially supported): ReadChannel=0. 0. 0424 WriteChannel=0. 0. 0425 ReadChannel specifies the READ channel to use. WriteChannel specifies the WRITE channel. 38 Architecture-Specific Information · For the ctc interface (no longer officially supported), specify the protocol that should be used for this interface: CTCProtocol=<0/1/2> Valid entries would be: 0 Compatibility mode, also for non-Linux peers other than OS/390 and z/OS (this is the default mode) Extended mode Compatibility mode with OS/390 and z/OS 1 2 · Network device type osa with interface lcs: ReadChannel=0. 0. 0124 Portname=1 ReadChannel stands for the channel number used in this setup.
