Matt, The Virtualization Cookbook has always recommended NFS as the install protocol. So if you want to follow that as closely as possible, I'd recommend z/OS NFS over Windows SFTP. I have never installed a zLinux from a z/OS NFS server, but I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work. You'd want the mount to be in binary so there is no attempt at ASCII-EBCDIC translation, but I believe that's the default. Hope this helps. -Mike M On Mon, May 18, 2015 at 8:24 PM, Rick Troth <r...@casita.net> wrote: > On 05/18/2015 11:52 AM, Dazzo, Matt wrote: > > MVS sysprog getting ready to try my first install RHEL 6.6 on zvm 6.3. > Trying to figure out the installation method to use and if what I have is > compatible.
