8 z/VM and Linux on IBM System z: The Virtualization Cookbook for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0
2.1 Bill of materials
The resources needed for a Linux on IBM System z project can be divided into the following
areas:
򐂰 Hardware
򐂰 Software
򐂰 Networking
2.1.1 Hardware resources
The following hardware is needed:
򐂰 A System z logical partition (LPAR) and a System z10 or System z196
Processors or CPUs: One IFL (or CP) minimum, two or more are recommended.
Memory: 3 GB central memory and 1 GB of expanded minimum, 6 GB and 2 GB or
more recommended. This 3:1 ratio of central to expanded storage is a good starting
point for relatively small systems. See the following website for a discussion about how
to apportion memory:
http://www.vm.ibm.com/perf/tips/storconf.html
DASD: 27 3390-3s or nine 3390-9s at a minimum
Open Systems Adapter (OSA) network cards: One card minimum with eight device
numbers (technically six, but OSA “triplets” usually start on an even address). Two
OSA Express cards with eight device numbers on one and four on the other is
recommended for high availability.
򐂰 A network-attached computer that will act as an NFS server and possibly an FTP server
with at least 6 GB of disk space Setting up a Linux or UNIX® server is described.
If you
only have access to a Windows machine, AllegroNFS has been suggested as an
NFS server. Refer to http://nfsforwindows.com/home for more information.
򐂰 A workstation or desktop that has network access to the mainframe.
2.1.2 Software resources
The following software resources are needed:
򐂰 z/VM V6.1 installation media with documentation. The physical media of DVDs is
described. In addition, there are now sections describing how to use electronic delivery of
z/VM using an FTP server so that physical media is not needed.
򐂰 RHEL 6 Linux install media. If you do not have it, you can request a no-cost 180-day
evaluation copy at the following website:
http://www.redhat.com/z
See 6.3, “Setting up a RHEL 6 installation tree” on page 98 for details.
򐂰 An operating system for the NFS server.
򐂰 The code associated with this book, which can be found at the following website:
http://www.vm.ibm.com/devpages/mikemac/SG247932.tgz

A 3270 Emulator, such as Attachmate Extra, Hummingbird Host Explorer, or IBM
Personal Communications for Windows desktops
