Preface

This IBM® Redbooks® publication describes how to create Linux® virtual servers in IBM

z/VM® on IBM System z® hardware. This book adopts a cookbook format that provides a

concise, repeatable set of procedures for installing and configuring z/VM in a logical partition

(LPAR) and then installing and customizing Linux. You need an IBM System z LPAR with the

associated resources, z/VM V6.1 media, and a Linux distribution.

This book assumes that you have a general familiarity with System z technology and

terminology. It does not assume an in-depth understanding of z/VM and Linux. It is written for

those clients who want to get a quick start with z/VM and Linux on the mainframe.

Chapters and appendixes

The chapters and appendixes in this book are summarized in the following list:

򐂰 Chapter 1, “Introduction to z/VM and Linux” on page 1 gives a brief introduction of the

book.

򐂰 Chapter 2, “Planning” on page 7 describes how to plan hardware, software, and

networking resources. It discusses the DASD labeling conventions used in the book and

password planning. Sample worksheets are provided for the examples used in the book,

as are blank copies for your use.

򐂰 Chapter 3, “Configuring a desktop machine” on page 19 describes how to set up

Microsoft® Windows® desktops. Specifically, the following tools are discussed:

– How to get and set up PuTTY, which is a commonly used SSH client.

– How to get and set up a VNC client, which is a tool for running graphical applications.

– 3270 emulator applications.

򐂰 Chapter 4, “Installing and configuring z/VM” on page 27 shows how to install and

configure z/VM.

򐂰 Chapter 5, “Servicing z/VM” on page 73 describes how to apply services to z/VM both in

the form of Programming Temporary Fixes (PTFs) and Recommended Service Upgrades

(RSUs).

򐂰 Chapter 6, “Configuring an NFS/FTP server” on page 97 explains how to set up a

temporary NFS server under Linux to install the first two Linux images. After the cloner is

installed, you can copy the Linux installation tree to it and retire the Linux server.

򐂰 Chapter 7, “Installing RHEL 6 on the cloner” on page 105 describes how to install and

configure a Linux image under the first Linux user IF, that is, the cloner, which does the

cloning and other tasks.

򐂰 Chapter 8, “Installing and configuring the golden image” on page 137 describes how to

install and configure a Linux image under the first Linux user ID, that is, the golden image,

which is the image from which the clones are made.

򐂰 Chapter 9, “Configuring RHEL 6 for cloning” on page 155 explains how to prepare z/VM

user IDs and clone your first virtual server.
