98 z/VM and Linux on IBM System z: The Virtualization Cookbook for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0

6.1 Installing Linux on the PC

If you do not have a Linux PC, then you must get access to a PC in the network and install

Linux onto it. Describing that installation is outside the scope of this book. However, installing

the same distribution onto a PC server on which you plan to install IBM System z is

recommended. Doing so will give you practice with the installation process and will give you a

reference system that may be helpful in understanding the differences between the Intel®

(i386, i686) and System z (s390x) architectures. In this chapter, a PC running RHEL 6 is

used.

6.2 Downloading the files associated with this book

This book has files associated with it that make the task of customizing and cloning your

virtual servers easier. The TAR file can be found at the following address:

http://www.vm.ibm.com/devpages/mikemac/SG247932.tgz

Perform the following steps:

1. The virt-cookbook-RH6.tgz TAR file is only about 24 KB. Download the file and extract it.

The following example shows the extracted files being place into the newly created /nfs/

directory:

# mkdir /nfs

# cd /nfs

... download or copy the file SH247932.tgz to /nfs/ ...

# tar xzf SG247932.tgz

2. List the files in the new virt-cookbook-RH6/ directory:

# cd virt-cookbook-RH6

# ls

README.txt clone-1.0-10.s390x.rpm disclaimer.txt vm/

The README.txt file briefly describes each of the files and the one directory. You may want to

briefly view that file.

You now have downloaded and uncompressed the files associated with this book.

6.3 Setting up a RHEL 6 installation tree

You must have a valid Red Hat entitlement for Linux on IBM System z to access the Red Hat

Enterprise Linux 6 ISO images. If you do not have one, you can request a no cost 180-day

evaluation copy at the following address:

http://www.redhat.com/z

Click the Free Evaluation link on the left and complete the online form. If you do not have a

Red Hat login ID, you will need to create one by clicking the Register and Continue button.

Otherwise, enter your Red Hat login and password, then click Log In to continue. After

completing the form, you will automatically receive an email with instructions about how to

access the Red Hat Network (RHN), where you can download the installation discs, at the

following address:

https://rhn.redhat.com
