What we did around here is the following (we don't have zVM but install
zLinux as LPAR)
mkdir /sles9
then we downloaded each iso into this location (each for your CD under the
same directory).
then we downloaded the sp1 iso's (two iso)
note: now you can get sp2 as well.
then downloaded mksles9root into this same directory.
executed mksles9root (which will create a subdirectory called sles9root)
note: make sure you have at least 10 GB for the /sles9 directory and
subdirectories.
Then, we exported (nfs) the mksles9root directory.
Now you are ready for the hmc.
If you need any more help or details please feel free.

Please respond to

I have finally ordered SLES9 for zseries.
I ordered media which I have received.
There are 6 CD's for SLES9 64-bit for zseries and
6 CD's for 31-bit for s/390. I did not realize there was a 31-bit SLES9.
Why did I think SLES9 was 64-bit only?
I'm not sure anyone can answer that question.
But hopefully they can answer the one regarding setting up an installation
server for network installations-
What is the best method to use for getting the data off the CD's to disk
and
installing using NFS?
The release notes in /docu on CD1 just say to enter
mkdir -p installroot/sles9/CD1 then copy contents of CD1 into the directory
mkdir -p installroot/core9/CD1 then copy contents of CD2 into this
directory
mkdir -p installroot/core9/CD2 then copy contents of CD3 into this
directory
and so on ...
I guess I just use cp command with -x and -a for this method and let yast
do the rest.
On the other hand the Redbook on LPAR to virtual servers in Two Days
(sg246695.pdf)
says to use dd to create ISO images and use mksles9root to creat the SLES9
install tree.
Which method is preferred?
