Hi David,

We tested SNO on z/VM and it is in general working.

debugging without additional information will be tricky but here are some 
pointers where things might break:
in the docs: 
https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.15/installing/installing_sno/install-sno-installing-sno.html#installing-sno-on-ibm-z_install-sno-installing-sno-with-the-assisted-installer

After you load the ocp installer it will start installation and after a while 
it will reboot on its own to load from the actual disk. When installing with 
bootstrap in place, currently it will lose the parmline during this reboot, 
resulting in errors because the system does not retain the network and disk 
configuration from the parmline. getting those back requires an additional 
manual reboot with your parmline provided as described in step 14 of the doc.

Another workaround would be to not use the bootstrap in place, which requires 
an additional z/vm guest during installation which can be removed after 
installation, like in any other cluster installation.

For additional help i would need to have a look at your parmfile and what 
errors you are facing.


Mit freundlichen Gr??en / Kind regards

Has anyone out there successfully installed Single-Node OpenShift on z/VM?

We have been attempting to get it up and running using the Red Hat
documentation, but we keep running into walls, so I'm wondering if anyone has
been able to get it working.
