2.3 Preparing the IPL of the SUSE

Configure your IBM System z system to start in ESA mode with an appropriate activa-

tion profile and IOCDS. Consult IBM documentation for more about how to achieve

this.

IOCDS: Attaching and Configuring Devices

A SUSE Linux Enterprise Server installation needs at least two devices: a DASD and

a network connection device. For an IPL from tape, a tape device should also be acces-

sible. Devices are configured and attached to an LPAR in the IOCDS (input output

configuration data set). This example defines one DASD, one OSA-2 network device,

and a tape device for LPAR Z1. For further information about how to set up the IOCDS

for Linux, refer to IBM hardware documentation of your machine.

Example 2.1 An Example IOCDS
