I am executing the redhat exec on zvm to install RHEL 6.6 and got the below 
messages. I believe this relates back to my RHEL6.CONF file and the subchannels 
line. When I autolog TCPIP 908,909,90A are the devices that are started. This 
the device definition in my system.config file. (define vswitch vsw1 rdev 
090B). I can access vm with 3270 and I can connect via ftp. Any help is 
appreciated.

Thanks Matt

Subject: Re: RHEL Install zvm

Matt,

The Virtualization Cookbook has always recommended NFS as the install
protocol.  So if you want to follow that as closely as possible, I'd
recommend z/OS NFS over Windows SFTP.  I have never installed a zLinux from
a z/OS NFS server, but I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work.
You'd want the mount to be in binary so there is no attempt at ASCII-EBCDIC
translation, but I believe that's the default.

Hope this helps.
