3.10.2 IBM System z: Connecting to the
Installed System
After IPLing the installed system, establish a connection with it to complete the instal-
lation. The steps involved in this vary depending on the type of connection used at the
outset.
Using VNC to Connect
A message in the 3270 terminal asks you to connect to the Linux system using a VNC
client. This message is easily missed, however, because it is mixed with kernel messages
and because the terminal process might quit before you become aware of the message.
If nothing happens for five minutes, try to initiate a connection to the Linux system
using a VNC viewer.
If connecting using a Java-capable browser, enter the complete URL, consisting of the
IP address of the installed system along with the port number, in the following fashion:
http://<IP of installed system>:5801/
Using X to Connect
When IPLing the installed system, make sure that the X server used for the first phase
of the installation is still available. YaST opens on this X server to finish the installation.
Using SSH to Connect
IMPORTANT: IBM System z: Connecting from a Linux or UNIX System
Start SSH in an xterm. Other terminal emulators lack complete support for the
text-based interface of YaST.
A message in the 3270 terminal asks you to connect to the Linux system with an SSH
client. This message is easily missed, however, because it is mixed with kernel messages
and because the terminal process might quit before you become aware of the message.
