Chapter 7. Installing RHEL 6 on the cloner
By now, you must have created a new z/VM user ID named LNXMAINT. Now it is time to
create the first Linux user ID, which is named RH6CLONE. This Linux ID is used for the
cloner installation server, and serves as the administration point for future Linux IDs. This
server is referred to as the cloner.
RH6CLONE serves in the following capacities:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 installation server: This server is a tree of Red Hat packages
(RPMs) and other files required for installation.
Network File System (NFS) server: This server exports the installation tree and possibly
other useful files.
Clone server: This server is used for cloning an existing installation to a new Linux ID. See
Chapter 9, “Configuring RHEL 6 for cloning” on page 155 for more details.
Kickstart server: This hosts files the product install files that are necessary for automated
installations. See Chapter 10, “Installing Linux with kickstart” on page 175 for more
information.
Chapter 4, “Installing and configuring z/VM” on page 27, Chapter 5, “Servicing z/VM” on
page 73, and Chapter 6, “Configuring an NFS/FTP server” on page 97 must be completed
before proceeding. In this chapter, you will perform following tasks:
“Installing the cloner” on page 106
“Configuring the cloner” on page 127
