1.7.11 S/390, zSeries: IPLing the Installed System

On IBM S/390 and zSeries platforms, another IPL must be performed after

installing the selected software packages. However, the procedure varies

according to the type of installation:

ESA Native and LPAR Installation

In the S/390 or zSeries HMC, select ‘LOAD’, select ‘Clear’, then enter

the loading address (the device address of the root device). If using a

ZFCP disk as boot device, choose ‘LOAD from SCSI’ and specify both

ZFCP WWPN and LUN of the boot device. Now start the loading

process.

z/VM Installation Shut down the installed system with the halt com-

mand. Log in at the VM guest, under the account name LINUX1 and

proceed to IPL the installed system. If using a ZFCP disk as boot de-

vice, specify both ZFCP WWPN and LUN of the boot device prior to

initiating the IPL. Note that the parameter length is limited to eight

characters. Longer numbers must be separated by spaces:

SET LOADDEV PORT 50050763 00C590A9 LUN 50010000 00000000

Finally, initiate the IPL:

IPL 151 CLEAR

1.7.12 S/390, zSeries: Connecting to the Installed System

After IPLing the installed system, establish a connection with it to complete

the installation. The steps involved in this vary depending on the type of

connection used at the outset.

Using VNC to Connect

A message in the 3270 terminal asks you to connect to the Linux system

using a VNC client. This message is easily missed, however, because it is

mixed with kernel messages and because the terminal process may quit

before you become aware of the message. If nothing happens during ﬁve

minutes, try to initiate a connection to the Linux system using a VNC

viewer.

If connecting using a Java-capable browser, enter the complete URL, con-

sisting of the IP address of the installed system along with the port number,

in the following fashion:

http://<IP of installed system>:5801/
