Mike,
The procedure you provided ( http://mikemacisaac.com/configureNFS.pdf ) for
setting up a linux install server worked well. I did have to change one
little thing: blanked out the "\t" from the files yast/instorder;
yast/order.
So with the prepared linux (desktop) install server, I was able to
successfully install a base SLES9 on z/VM .
For SP1 upgrade, I used the following procedure:
In the Install server:
1) download SP1 iso images for CD1, CD2
2) mount loop iso images to tmp dir
3) created diretory: /sles9-s3900-sp1/CD1, /sles9-s3900-sp1/CD2
4) copied iso files from tmp to above directories
5) using yast, NFS export /sles9-s3900-sp1
In target Image:
1) register new install source:
-yast
software / Change source of Installation
add:
install_server / sles9-s3900-sp1/CD1 (CD1 only, CD2 not reqd)
move to top of list
2) do the upgrade:
- yast
software / system update
(take all defaults)
3) re-boot
==================
So the upgrade appears to have worked.
Question: How can I tell that my system is sles9 SP1 ?

Ismael,

yast -> software -> Patch CD update
It's documented (for SLES8 and SP3 at least) in the zDomino redbook:
SG24-7021.
