Introduction

This book describes the procedure for preparing the installation of SUSE® Linux En-

terprise Server on IBM System z systems. It provides all information needed to prepare

the installation on the LPAR and z/VM side.

1 Structure

Basically, this manual is divided in two parts.

General Information and Requirements

This part provides information about the requirements both on the hardware and

the software side that need to be met to install SUSE Linux Enterprise Server suc-

cessfully on your machine.

Preparing for Installation

This part covers the preparation procedure for the installation of SUSE Linux En-

terprise Server on IBM System z. Learn which basic preparations need to be per-

formed on the LPAR and z/VM side. It guides you to the point where YaST, the

SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server installation and conguration tool, takes over.

Additionally, the appendix contains a chapter featuring an overview of possible network

connection types. The second chapter in the appendix focuses on automated system

conguration using the parmle.

TIP: Further Information about SUSE Linux Enterprise Server on IBM

System z

Find a short introduction to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server on IBM System z in

Start-Up Guide of which you received a printed copy. Find a detailed description

of the installation procedure and the administration of SUSE Linux Enterprise

Server in Installation and Administration, which you can nd in the local direc-

tory /usr/share/doc/manual/ or on the rst installation medium in the

directory /docu.

2 Required Background

Several assumptions have been made concerning your background knowledge when

writing this document.

• You are familiar with IBM System z terminology.

• You have a good knowledge of the IBM System z devices attached to your system,

especially its network environment.

• You have a basic understanding of handling a Linux or Unix system.

3 Documentation Conventions

The following typographical conventions are used in this manual:

•/etc/passwd: lenames and directory names

•placeholder: replace placeholder with the actual value

•PATH: the environment variable PATH

•ls,--help: commands, options, and parameters

•user: users or groups

•Alt,Alt +F1: a key to press or a key combination; keys are shown in uppercase as

on a keyboard

•File,File >Save As: menu items, buttons

• This paragraph is only relevant for the specied architectures. The arrows mark

the beginning and the end of the text block.

•Dancing Penguins (Chapter Penguins, ↑Another Manual): This is a reference to a

chapter in another manual.

4Further In-Depth Information about

IBM System z

IBM has published a number of very interesting documents about their System z plat-

form. Find them either on the Internet (http://www.redbooks.ibm.com) or in

your installed system (package redbook) under /usr/share/doc/packages/

redbook.

4.1 Hardware

5 Acknowledgments

The history of Linux is a success story about countless developers all around the world

contributing to what originally started as a one-man show by Linus Torvalds. Thanks

to all of them for their tremendous efforts.

Especially we would like to thank all the people involved in the Linux for IBM System

z project at IBM and SUSE. Thanks to the (information) developers at SUSE and IBM,

the test team at SUSE, and all beta-testers and proofreaders at IBM. Thank you for

making SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for IBM System z possible.
