The following parameters can be passed to the installation routine, which takes them
as default values for installation. All IP addresses, server names, and numerical values
are just examples. Replace these values with the ones needed in your installation sce-
nario.
The number of lines in the parmfile is limited to 10. Specify more than one parameter
on a line. Parameter names are not case-sensitive. Separate the parameters by spaces.
You may specify the parameters in any order. Always keep the PARAMETER=value
string together in one line. For example:
Hostname=s390zvm01.suse.de HostIP=10.11.134.65
TIP: Using IPv6 during the Installation
By default you can only assign IPv4 network addresses to your machine. To
enable IPv6 during installation, enter one of the following parameters at the
bootprompt: ipv6=1 (accept IPv4 and IPv6) or ipv6only=1 (accept IPv6
only).
Some of the following parameters are required. If they are missing, the automatic process
pauses and asks you to enter the value manually.
A.2.1 General Parameters
AutoYaST=<URL> Manual=0
The AutoYaST parameter specifies the location of the autoinst.xml control
file for automatic installation. The Manual parameter controls if the other param-
eters are only default values that still must be acknowledged by the user. Set this
parameter to 0 if all values should be accepted and no questions asked. Setting
AutoYaST implies setting Manual to 0.
Info=<URL>
Specifies a location for a file from which to read additional options. This helps to
overcome the limitations of 10 lines (and 80 characters per line under z/VM) for
the parmfile. More documentation on the Info file can be found in Section "Creating
the info File" (Chapter 5, Automated Installation, ↑Installation and Administra-
tion). Since the Info file can typically only be accessed through the network on
System z, you cannot use it to specify options required to setup the network, i.e.
options described in Section A.2.2, "Configuring the Network Interface" (page 37).
