Network Configuration - Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER 10 SP2 - ARCHITECTURE-SPECIFIC INFORMATION Supplementary Manual

IPL from ESCON or FICON Attached tape
If you cannot IPL from a z/VM reader, create a channel attached tape from which to
IPL the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server installation image. For instructions, refer to
Section "IPL from ESCON or FICON Attached Tape"
To continue the installation, proceed with

2.5 Network Configuration

Wait until the kernel has completed its start-up routines. If you are installing in basic
mode or in an LPAR, open the Operating System Messages on the HMC or SE.
First, choose Start Installation or System in the linuxrc main menu then Start Installation
or Update to start the installation process. Select Network as your installation medium
then select the type of network protocol you will be installing over.
"Making the Installation Data Available"
lation data available for the various types of network connections. Currently, FTP,
HTTP, NFS, and SMB/CIFS (Windows file sharing) are supported.
Now set up the network device over which to receive the installation data: OSA-2 or
OSA Express or HiperSockets. The following network adapters are still available and
usable, but no longer supported: CTC, ESCON, IUCV. Next, choose the CCW bus in-
terface and the physical medium (for example, Ethernet or Token Ring). As a result,
the respective driver is installed and you see the corresponding kernel messages.
Proceeding with the installation, linuxrc displays a list of potential usable read, write,
and, if applicable, data channels. After entering the addresses for each channel, you
may also need to enter additional information, such as the port name for OSA ethernet
cards.
Next, decide whether to use DHCP autoconfiguration for setting up the network interface
parameters. Because DHCP only works on a few devices and requires special hardware
configuration settings, you probably want to say NO here. When you do so, you are
prompted for the networking parameters of your installation network device:
• The IP address of the system to install
• The corresponding netmask
