I don't remember exactly  (yes, I had 1G), but it was very early  after the gui 
was presented.

I have had no problems with the VNC install. What happened? I found I needed at 
last a 1G virtual machine for the VNC approach.

Just in case anyone else travels this path...

1)  Some of the wording is a bit confusing "Boot Parameters",  "Parameter 
and Configuration files", "CMS Configuration file" and "Kickstart"
2)  I didn't know about the root=live:http://...
3)  The graphic installed bombed on me
4)  The text install is counterintuitive
a)  It is difficult to determine if the information entered for #3 was 
acceptable (i.e. did it find the files required)
b)  Not aware that the "Processing..." under selection #4 also changes 
#3 indicator to "!" (from "x"), after performing a "r"efresh, this became

Just a misunderstanding in naming of files:
(CMS) parameter file - parameters for the linux kernel
(CMS) config file - device configuration, referenced by CMSCONFFILE= in 
the parameter file



"root=/dev/ram0" should be removed from your parameter file.
Also "inst.cmdline" should not be used unless you specify a kickstart

Re: Z linux boot from SAN

2016-02-22 Thread Jan Stodola


Peter,
the best starting point is the Installation guide available at:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Installation_Guide/part-installation-system-z.html

The guide also describes kickstart installations.

Regards,
Jan

Can you please point me to the relevant documentation to do this so I can cut

Re: ClefOS installation problems...

2016-02-22 Thread Jan Stodola


It looks like incorrect parameters in the CMS parameter file.

Since ClefOS is based on RHEL, I would recommend reading the RHEL 
installation guide:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Installation_Guide/part-installation-system-z.html

Especially this section might be useful:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Installation_Guide/chap-installer-booting-ipl-s390.html#sect-customizing-generic-prm-s390

Jan

Z linux boot from SAN

2016-02-22 Thread Rothman, Peter

I have been tasked with creating a linux system to boot from SAN for a POC.
This is RHEL 7 so any info on the 'kickstart' part would also be helpful
I was told it is needed ASAP.

Can you please point me to the relevant documentation to do this so I can cut 
down on some of the investigation time.

Thanks.
