1.3.2 VM Reader
To IPL from a VM reader, transfer the necessary files into the reader first. Then multiple
IPLs are easily done. This is the preferred way on z/VM. For comfortable administration,
it is recommended to create a user linuxmnt that owns a minidisk with the files and
scripts needed for IPL. This minidisk is then accessed read-only by the Linux guests.
1.3.3 Load from CD-ROM or Server
For IPLing into an LPAR, it is possible to load directly from the Support Element's
(SE) CD-ROM device. It also allows you to IPL via FTP from a server holding the
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for IBM System z files. Find this button near the LOAD
button (if you have upgraded to the latest MCL, see Chapter 1, General Information
and Requirements (page 1)).
Figure 1.1 HMC CPC Group Work Area
This function can be performed from the HMC. Do this by accessing the Defined CPCs
icon in the Groups Work Area on the HMC desktop. From there, access the Defined
CPCs Work Area. Select a system image and initiate CPC Recovery. Use Single Object
