Use the REXX script sles10.exec you just downloaded to IPL the Linux installation
system. This script loads the kernel, parmfile, and the initial RAM disk into the reader
for IPL.
Example 2.5 SLES10 EXEC
/* REXX LOAD EXEC FOR SUSE LINUX S/390 VM GUESTS
/* LOADS SUSE LINUX S/390 FILES INTO READER
SAY ''
SAY 'LOADING SLES10 FILES INTO READER...'
'CP CLOSE RDR'
'PURGE RDR ALL'
'SPOOL PUNCH * RDR'
'PUNCH SLES10 IMAGE A (NOH'
'PUNCH SLES10 PARMFILE A (NOH'
'PUNCH SLES10 INITRD A (NOH'
'I 00C'
With this script you can IPL the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server installation system with
the command sles10. The Linux kernel then starts and prints its boot messages.
To continue the installation, proceed to Section 2.5.1, "z/VM Installation" (page 26).
IPL from FCP-Attached SCSI DVD
To IPL in z/VM, prepare the SCSI IPL process by using the SET LOADDEV parameter:
SET LOADDEV PORTNAME 200400E8 00D74E00 LUN 00020000 00000000 BOOT 2
After setting the LOADDEV parameter with the appropriate values, IPL your FCP
adapter, for example:
IPL FC00
To continue the installation, proceed with Section 2.5.1, "z/VM Installation" (page 26).
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" (page 20).
To continue the installation, proceed with Section 2.5.1, "z/VM Installation" (page 26).
