Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER 11 - DEPLOYMENT Deployment Manual page 68

IPL from the z/VM Reader
You need a working TCP/IP connection and an FTP client program within your newly
defined z/VM guest to transfer the installation system via FTP. Setting up TCP/IP for
z/VM is beyond the scope of this manual. Refer to the appropriate IBM documentation.
Log in as the z/VM Linux guest to IPL. Make the content of the directory /boot/
s390x on DVD 1 of the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for IBM System z available
by FTP within your network. From this directory, get the files vmrdr.ikr, initrd,
parmfile, and sles11.exec. Transfer the files with a fixed block size of 80
characters. Specify it with the FTP command locsite fix 80. It is important to
copy vmrdr.ikr (the Linux kernel) and initrd (the installation image) as binary
files, so use the binary transfer mode. parmfile and sles11.exec need to be
transferred in ASCII mode.
The example shows the steps necessary. In this example, the required files are accessible
from an FTP server at the IP address 192.168.0.3 and the login is lininst. It
may differ for your network.
