SUSE Linux Enterprise Server on CD or DVD
CD 1 and the DVD of the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for IBM System z contain a
bootable Linux image for Intel-based workstations as well as an image for System z.
For Intel-based workstations, boot from this CD, answer the questions regarding your
language and keyboard layout, and select Start rescue system. You need at least 64 MB
RAM for this. No disk space is needed because the entire rescue system resides in the
workstation's RAM. This approach takes some Linux and networking experience, be-
cause you need to set up the networking of the workstation manually.
For System z, IPL your LPAR/VM guest from this DVD as described in Section "IPL
from FCP-Attached SCSI DVD" (page 19). After entering your network parameters,
the installation system treats the DVD as the source of installation data. Because Sys-
tem z cannot have an X11-capable terminal attached directly, choose between VNC or
SSH installation. SSH also provides a graphical installation by tunneling the X connec-
tion through SSH with ssh -X.
2.1.2 Using a Microsoft Windows
Workstation
If there is a Microsoft Windows workstation available in your network, use this com-
puter to make the installation media available. The easiest way to do this is to use the
SMB protocol, already included in the Windows operating system. Be sure to activate
SMB over TCP/IP as this enables the encapsulation of SMB packages into TCP/IP
packages. Find details in the Windows online help or other Windows-related documen-
tation that covers networking. Another option is to use FTP. This also requires some
third-party software for Windows.
With SMB
To make the installation media available with SMB, just insert the SUSE Linux Enter-
prise Server CD 1 into the CD drive of the Windows workstation. Then create a new
share using the CD-ROM drive's letter and make it available for everyone in the network.
