2.1.1 Using a Linux Workstation or SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server CD
If you have a Linux workstation running in your computer environment, use the work-
station to provide the installation data to the IBM System z installation process by NFS
or FTP. If the Linux workstation runs under SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for x86,
you can set up an installation server (NFS or FTP) using the YaST Installation Server
module as described in Section 4.2.1, “Setting Up an Installation Server Using YaST”
(Chapter 4, Remote Installation, ↑Installation and Administration).
IPL from SCSI CD-ROM
To IPL from a SCSI CD-ROM, you need access to an FCP adapter connected to a CD-
ROM drive. You need values like the WWPN and LUN from the SCSI CD-ROM drive.
IPL from SCSI CD-ROM in a LPAR
You can use the LOAD procedure by selecting SCSI as Load Type to IPL from
SCSI. Fill in the WWPN and LUN provided by your SCSI bridge or storage. The
boot program selector must be 2. Use your FCP adapter as load address and perform
an IPL.
IPL from SCSI CD-ROM in z/VM
To IPL in z/VM, prepare the SCSI IPL process by using the
SET LOADDEV
pa-
rameter:
SET LOADDEV PORTNAME 200400E8 00D74E00 LUN 00020000 00000000 BOOT 2
After setting the LOADDEV parameter with the appropriate values, IPL your FCP
adapter.
IPL FC00
Over NFS
Use NFS (network file system) to make the installation media available.
