5.3 Installation Source
In case of the FCP-attached CD-ROM, the installation data is read from the CD-ROM.
For all other IPL options, the installation data must be available on the internal network.
In a Unix or Linux environment, the installation data can be provided on a workstation
set up as an NFS or FTP server. To make the installation data available from a Windows
workstation, release it on an SMB share. Several FTP software packages for Windows
are available as an alternative, however, their use is not always free of problems.
