The machine has two ways to IPL: 1. The traditional LOAD function -- Choose channel-attached device or a remote SCSI LUN. Uses traditional IPL I/O architecture. 2. Load from Removable Media or Server (LRMS) -- Choose from media-provided pick list. Selected program is loaded into memory and a SYSTEM RESTART is performed. You only use the LOAD FROM REMOVABLE MEDIA OR SERVER (LRMS) function for installation,and that's the only time the integrated 3270 is required. It is z/VM that requires the integrated 3270. As After that, you LOAD the LPAR in the traditional manner. Please note that when using LRMS with an FTP server that the server must be on the HMC-SE LAN segment. That is, the SEs are the machines doing the FTP and the SE must be able to reach the FTP server. Because the HMC will not perform routing, the suggested configuration is for your fave FTP server to have an interface on it with a VPN into the LAN segment used by the HMC & SEs.
