Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER 11 - DEPLOYMENT Deployment Manual page 43

• The HMC terminal used for the input during the installation is a VT320 emulation.
This emulation can lead to strange effects with some applications. If possible, use
an XTerm for communicating with the LPAR.
Hard Disk Space
Make sure that you have sufficient hard disk space for installing SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server. The use of a separate hard disk is recommended.
SUSE Linux also supports installing to Fibre Channel–attached storage. Before beginning
installation, the Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (FCHBA), SAN fabric, and storage
system must each be configured to provide access from the FCHBA through the SAN
Fabric to target logical units (LUNs) on the storage system.
SAN storage devices, if properly configured, are listed among existing hard disks on
your system. Create Custom Partitioning Setup opens the dialog, as described in
tion 15.1, "Using the YaST Partitioner"
For more information, see
eserver/v1r2s/en_US/index.htm?info/iphai/confighmcgs.htm.
Setting Up the Installation Source
If you plan to install from CD-ROM, insert CD1 in the drive. In LPAR mode, the par-
tition to install must have the CD-ROM in its partition profile. Create a network instal-
lation source if SUSE Linux Enterprise Server should be installed over a number of
partitions. This eliminates the need to change CDs during installation. The same source
can also be used for concurrent installation of various systems. The configuration of
the network installation source is described in
Server Using YaST"
Starting the Installation
To start the installation, reboot the system. Then enter the system firmware by pressing
F1 or 1 when using the serial console during the system check when the system is re-
booted. See Figure 3.3, "Entering the System Firmware"
(page 227).
