Installation guide

• WWPN is the world wide port name used for routing (often in conjunction with multipathing)
and is as a 16-digit hex value (e.g. 0x5105074308c212e9).
• SCSI_LUN refers to the local SCSI logical unit value and is specified as a hex-value, typic-
ally sequential values (e.g. 0x00, 0x01, ...) are used over multiple FCP_ variables.
• FCP_LUN refers to the storage logical unit identifier and is specified as a hex-value (such
as 0x4010).
Note
Each of the values used in the FCP parameters (FCP_1, FCP_2, ...) are site-
specific and are normally supplied by the FCP storage administrator.
The following parameters for kickstart installations are optional:
• RUNKS=value
Where value is defined as 1 if you want to run the installation program in noninteractive
(kickstart) mode in the 3270 terminal, or 0 otherwise.
• cmdline
When cmdline is specified, 3270 terminal output becomes much more readable, as the in-
staller disables most escape terminal sequences that are applicable to unix-like consoles,
but not supported on the 3270 console.
• Make sure that your kickstart file contains all required parameters before you use either of
the RUNKS of cmdline options.
If any of the network parameters required to make the network operate correctly are omitted
from the parm file, a prompt appears during the installation boot process.
If you logged off, reconnect and log in using z/VM guest ID you configured for installation. If you
are not in CMS mode, enter it now.

Create an executable script containing the commands necessary to IPL the kernel image and
start the installation. The following sample script is a typical initial start-up script:
/* */ 'CL RDR' 'PURGE RDR ALL' 'SPOOL PUNCH * RDR' 'PUNCH KERNEL IMG A (NOH' 'PUNCH REDHAT PARM A (NOH' 'PUNCH INITRD IMG A (NOH' 'CH RDR ALL KEEP NOHOLD' 'IPL 00C CLEAR'
The initial installation start-up script prompts you for information about your networking and
DASDs unless you have specified all necessary information in the parm file.
Once all questions have been answered, you are ready to begin the core installation program,
loader. To continue with the installation, refer to Chapter 17, Installing on IBM System z Sys-
tems for further instructions.
