Hello Jake, this is probably extremely late, but anyway, maybe it still help.

A real "step by step" guide for specifically installing RHEL on a SCSI disk on IBM Z doesn't exist to my knowledge. Redhat has an installation guide that also covers IBM Z for RHEL (this is for RHEL 9): https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html-single/interactively_installing_rhel_over_the_network/index In Part I you can find useful information about preparations: https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html-single/interactively_installing_rhel_over_the_network/index#preparing-a-rhel-installation-on-64-bit-ibm-z_rhel-installer, which also includes boot parameters for the different storage devices (including FCP/SCSI). It might be useful to search for "FCP"/"IBM Z". In Part II there is more information about how to configure FCP devices during the installation: https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html-single/interactively_installing_rhel_over_the_network/index#configuring-fcp-devices_storage-devices. In Part III there are information about how to manage FCP/SCSI Luns after the installation: https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html-single/interactively_installing_rhel_over_the_network/index#fcp-luns-that-are-part-of-the-root-file-system_configuring-a-linux-instance-on-ibm-z https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html-single/interactively_installing_rhel_over_the_network/index#fcp-luns-that-are-not-part-of-the-root-file-system_configuring-a-linux-instance-on-ibm-z. That should cover all the RHEL specific parts. We also have our best practices for using FCP with Linux on IBM Z: https://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/dw/linux390/lvc/zFCP_Best_Practices-BB-Webcast_201805.pdf On pages 50, 23 there is also some more information specific to RHEL that are still up-to-date. Of course this presentation also contains a lot of general information useful when using SCSI/FCP with Linux on IBM Z. The next two are more general, not specific to RHEL: On top we have the "Device Drivers, Features, and Commands" book for Redhat: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/linux-on-systems?topic=linuxonibm/liaaf/lnz_r_rhdd.htm Part 3, Chapter 12 covers SCSI-over-Fibre Channel And last, but not least, we have an older book covering many different aspects of how to use FC-attached SCSI devices: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/linux-on-systems?topic=later-pdf-file -- Best Regards, Benjamin Block / Linux on IBM Z Kernel Development IBM Deutschland Research & Development GmbH / https://www.ibm.com/privacy Vors.
