Chapter 6. Configuring an NFS/FTP server

A common method of installing Linux on z/VM on a server is over the network from another

server using the Network File System (NFS). To accomplish this task, you should use a PC

system that has Linux installed on it. This server supplies both the RHEL 6 distribution and

the files associated with this book. The server must have at least 4 GB of free disk space. It

can be a Linux PC, but it can also be a UNIX box (Sun Solaris, Hewlett Packard HP-UX, IBM

AIX®, or other). You can also choose to use a Windows workstation with FTP or HTTP, if you

absolutely must. Often, more problems are encountered when using a Windows workstation

than a Linux or UNIX workstation to serve the RHEL 6 install tree, so this choice is not

recommended.

The steps in this chapter explain how to configure a PC Linux box as the NFS server. The

Red Hat Installation Guide for the IBM S/390 and IBM System z Architectures manual

provides additional information about the installation options, and can be found at the

following address:

In addition to being an NFS server for Linux installation, this system can also be used as an

FTP server for z/VM installation. If this is the case, the steps in 6.5, “Configuring an FTP

server for z/VM installation” on page 102 must be completed before completing the steps in

Chapter 4, “Installing and configuring z/VM” on page 27.

The following tasks will set up a Linux server:

򐂰 “Installing Linux on the PC” on page 98

򐂰 “Downloading the files associated with this book” on page 98

򐂰 “Setting up a RHEL 6 installation tree” on page 98

򐂰 “Enabling the NFS server” on page 100

򐂰 “Configuring an FTP server for z/VM installation” on page 102
