Installing under z/VM

16.6. Installing under z/VM
Log onto z/VM as the Linux guest account. You can use x3270 or c3270 (from the x3270-text package
in Red Hat Enterprise Linux) to log in to z/VM from other Linux systems. Alternatively, use the 3270
terminal emulator on the IBM System z management console. If you are working from a Windows
based machine, Jolly Giant (
http://www.jollygiant.com/
4
) offers an SSL-enabled 3270 emulator.
If you are not in CMS mode, enter it now.

If necessary, add the device containing z/VM's TCP/IP tools to your CMS disk list. For example:
vmlink tcpmaint 592 592
If using any of the qdio/qeth based network connection types (such as
OSA express
or
hipersockets
),
set the VM guest qioassist parameter off:
set qioassist off
FTP to the machine containing the boot images (
kernel.img
and
initrd.img
), log in, and execute
the following commands (use the
(repl
option if you are overwriting existing
kernel.img
and
initrd.img
image files):
•
cd /location/of/boot/images/
•
locsite fix 80
•
bin
•
get kernel.img (repl
•
get initrd.img (repl
•
ascii
•
get generic.prm redhat.parm (repl
•
quit
You may now create the parameter file (for example,
redhat.parm
). Refer to
Chapter 19, Sample
Parameter Files
for sample
parm
files. Below is an explanation of the
parm
file contents.
There is a limit of 32 total parameters in the parameter file. In order to accommodate limitations
with parameter files, a new configuration file on a CMS DASD should be used to configure the initial
network setup and the DASD specification.
A
.parm
file is still required for the
real
kernel parameters, such as
root=/dev/ram0 ro ip=off
ramdisk_size=40000
, and single parameters which are not assigned to variables, such as
vnc
.
Two parameters which are used in z/VM installs to point the installation program at the new CMS
configuration file need to be added to the
.parm
file:
CMSDASD=191 CMSCONFFILE=redhat.conf
