This is part of the SuSE instructions and I followed them to the letter. There are many ways to create an IPLable tape. One is to copy the files: /boot/tapeipl.ikr /boot/parmfile /boot/initrd as binary files from CD 1 into the z/VM (for example, using FTP from a Linux workstation). Name them SLES9 IMAGE SLES9 PARM SLES9 INITRD and write them onto a tape with the REXX script in Example 8.1. Note Transferring Binaries using FTP Do not upload the files as fixed 80. Store them as fixed 1024. Use the FTP command loc site fix 1024. Note Example 8.1: REXX Script to Create an IPLable Tape REWIND 181 FILEDEF IN1 DISK SLES9 IMAGE A FILEDEF IN2 DISK SLES9 PARM A FILEDEF IN3 DISK SLES9 INITRD A FILEDEF OUT TAP1 (RECFM F BLOCK 1024 LRECL 1024 PERM say Writing: left(file1,23) MOVEFILE IN1 OUT say Writing: left(file2,23) MOVEFILE IN2 OUT say Writing: left(file3,23) MOVEFILE IN3 OUT say Done. REWIND 181 exit
