6.13.1 IBM System z: IPLing the Installed
System
In most cases, YaST automatically reboots into the installed system on the IBM System
z platform. Known exceptions to this are installations, where the bootloader resides on
an FCP device in environments with LPAR on a machine older than z9 or with z/VM
older than release 5.3. The bootloader gets written to the device, that holds the /boot
directory. If /boot is not on a separate partition, it is on the same partition as the root
file system /.
In cases where an automatic reboot is not possible, YaST will show a dialog box con-
taining information from which device to do an IPL. Accept the shutdown option and
perform an IPL after the shutdown. The procedure varies according to the type of instal-
lation:
LPAR Installation
In the IBM System z HMC, select Load, select Clear, then enter the loading address
(the device address of the device holding the /boot directory with the bootloader).
If using a ZFCP disk as the boot device, choose Load from SCSI and specify the
load address of your FCP adapter as well as WWPN and LUN of the boot device.
Now start the loading process.
z/VM Installation
Log in to the VM guest as LINUX1 and proceed to IPL the installed system:
IPL 151 CLEAR
151 is an example address of the DASD boot device, replace this value with the
correct address.
If using a ZFCP disk as the boot device, specify both the ZFCP WWPN and LUN
of the boot device before initiating the IPL. The parameter length is limited to eight
characters. Longer numbers must be separated by spaces:
SET LOADDEV PORT 50050763 00C590A9 LUN 50010000 00000000
Finally, initiate the IPL:
IPL FC00
