For SLES12 you can delete everything on this line except for "TERM=dumb". > hostip=10.23.11.246 netmask=255.255.248.0 gateway=10.23.11.193 You can specify the IP address this way, or as 10.23.11.246/21 and leave off the netmask. I would recommend adding "domain=evertecinc.com" or whatever domain name you use internally. > nameserver=10.23.0.238 portname=none portno=0 Delete "portname=none" from this line. > instnetdev=osa osainterface=qdio osamedium=eth layer2=1 Delete "osamedium-eth" from this line > OSAHWaddr=02:78:C1:02:48:00 Specifying OSAHWaddr is almost always a bad idea, unless you're running in an LPAR. If you're running as a z/VM guest, and you want "persistent" MAC addresses, specify MACID in USER DIRECT for each guest. > readchannel=0.0.0360 writechannel=0.0.0361 datachannel=0.0.0362 > usevnc=1 vncpassword=vncpassw > install=http://10.1.38.158/upgrade/SLE-12-SP3-Server-DVD-s390x-GM-DVD1.iso If you know your network setup is working, it might be better to use "install=nfs://" instead of HTTP. This will avoid the installer having to download the whole ISO image at once. Alternatively, as Marcy recommended, you can loop-back mount the ISO image on the HTTP server so that you can then do this: install=http://10.1.38.158/upgrade/ TERM=dumb hostip=10.23.11.246/21 gateway=10.23.11.193 domain=evertecinc.com nameserver=10.23.0.238 portno=0 instnetdev=osa osainterface=qdio layer2=1 OSAHWaddr= readchannel=0.0.0360 writechannel=0.0.0361 datachannel=0.0.0362 usevnc=1 vncpassword=vncpassw install=http://10.1.38.158/upgrade/SLE-12-SP3-Server-DVD-s390x-GM-DVD1.iso Mark Post ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
