Performing The Installation - Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER 10 SP2 - INSTALLATION AND ADMINISTRATION Installation Manual

3.13 Performing the Installation

After making all installation settings, click Accept in the suggestion window to begin
the installation. Confirm with Install. Some software may require a license confirmation.
If your software selection includes such software, license confirmation dialogs are
displayed. Click Accept to install the software. When not agreeing to the license, click
I Disagree and the software will not be installed.
The installation usually takes between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the system
performance and the software selected. During this procedure a slide show introduces
the features of SUSE Linux Enterprise. Choose Details to switch to the installation log.
As soon as all packages are installed, YaST boots into the new Linux system, after
which you can configure the hardware and set up system services.
3.13.1 IBM System z: IPLing the Installed
In most cases, YaST automatically reboots into the installed system on the IBM System z
platform. Known exceptions to this are installations wherein the bootloader resides on
an FCP device in environments with LPAR on a machine older than z9 or with z/VM
older than release 5.3. The bootloader gets written to the device that holds the /boot
directory. If /boot is not on a separate partition, it is on the same partition as the root
file system /.
In cases where an automatic reboot is not possible, YaST will show a dialog box con-
taining information about from which device to do an IPL. Accept the shutdown option
and perform an IPL after the shutdown. The procedure varies according to the type of
installation:
LPAR Installation
In the IBM System z HMC, select Load, select Clear, then enter the loading address
(the device address of the device holding the /boot directory with the bootloader).
If using a ZFCP disk as the boot device, choose Load from SCSI and specify the
load address of your FCP adapter as well as WWPN and LUN of the boot device.
Now start the loading process.
