The Virtualization Cookbook for SLES 10 SP2 - z/VM - IBM

NFS server directory you just set up on the cloner. This will preclude you from having to
type in the NFS server information in the install SSH session. Following is an example
with the values used in this book:
==> x rh6gold conf-rh6
DASD=100-101,300-301
HOSTNAME=gpok222.endicott.ibm.com
NETTYPE=qeth
IPADDR=9.60.18.222
SUBCHANNELS=0.0.0600,0.0.0601,0.0.0602
NETMASK=255.255.255.128
SEARCHDNS=endicott.ibm.com
METHOD=nfs:9.60.18.223:/nfs/rhel6
GATEWAY=9.60.18.129
DNS=9.0.3.1
MTU=1500
PORTNAME=DONTCARE
PORTNO=0
LAYER2=0
You are now ready to start the golden image installation.
8.1.4 Installing RHEL 6 to the golden image
Install Linux onto the RH6GOLD virtual machine Because the cloner is running and NFS is
configured, install RHEL 6 using the installation tree exported from the cloner.
Perform the following steps:
► Logon to RH6GOLD. The PROFILE EXEC from the LNXMAINT 192 disk should prompt you to IPL
minidisk 100. Since there is nothing installed yet, answer no.
LOGON RH6GOLD

Do you want to IPL Linux from minidisk 100? y/n

► The default memory size of 256 MB is not enough to install RHEL 6. Set the memory size
to 1 GB with the CP DEFINE STORAGE command:
==> def stor 1g
00: STORAGE = 1G
00: Storage cleared - system reset.
► IPL CMS, and again answer no:
