SUSE Linux Enterprise Server on DVD
DVD1 of the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for IBM System z contains a bootable
Linux image for Intel-based workstations as well as an image for System z.
For Intel-based workstations, boot from this DVD, answer the questions regarding your
language and keyboard layout, and select Start rescue system. You need at least 64 MB
RAM for this. No disk space is needed because the entire rescue system resides in the
workstation's RAM. This approach takes some Linux and networking experience, be-
cause you need to set up the networking of the workstation manually.
For System z, IPL your LPAR/VM guest from this DVD as described in
from FCP-Attached SCSI DVD"
the installation system treats the DVD as the source of installation data. Because System
z cannot have an X11-capable terminal attached directly, choose between VNC or SSH
installation. SSH also provides a graphical installation by tunneling the X connection
through SSH with ssh -X.
Using a Microsoft Windows Workstation
If there is a Microsoft Windows workstation available in your network, use this com-
puter to make the installation media available. The easiest way to do this is to use the
SMB protocol, already included in the Windows operating system. Be sure to activate
SMB over TCP/IP as this enables the encapsulation of SMB packages into TCP/IP
packages. Find details in the Windows online help or other Windows-related documen-
tation that covers networking. Another option is to use FTP. This also requires some
third-party software for Windows.
With SMB
To make the installation media available with SMB, just insert the SUSE Linux Enter-
prise Server DVD 1 into the DVD drive of the Windows workstation. Then create a
new share using the DVD-ROM drive's letter and make it available for everyone in the
network.
TIP: SMB Installation Path for YaST
Consult the README from the highest directory of DVD 1 for detailed informa-
tion about the syntax of the installation path for YaST.
