Chapter 7. Installing RHEL 6 on the cloner 111
6. Verify that the RHEL6 EXEC file has the correct information. Note the kernel and RAM disk
have hardcoded file names (RHEL6), but the file name of the parameter file will be the user
ID (userid() function) of the user running the EXEC:
==> type rhel6 exec d
/* EXEC to punch a RHEL 6 install system to reader and IPL from it */
Address 'COMMAND'
'CP SPOOL PUN *'
'CP CLOSE RDR'
'CP PURGE RDR ALL'
'PUNCH RHEL6 KERNEL * (NOHEADER'
'PUNCH' Userid() 'PARM-RH6 * (NOHEADER'
'PUNCH RHEL6 INITRD * (NOHEADER'
'CP CHANGE RDR ALL KEEP'
'CP IPL 00C CLEAR'
7. There are two text files that are needed to install RHEL 6: a parameter file and a
configuration file. A sample parameter file is provided and is named SAMPLE PARM-RH6. It
has some values, the most important value of which, the
CMSCONFFILE variable, points to the
configuration file that remains on a CMS minidisk. Copy the sample parameter file to a
new file named RH6CLONE. Change the configuration file variable to point to a file with the
same file name:
==> copy sample parm-rh6 d rh6clone = =
==> x rh6clone parm-rh6 d
root=/dev/ram0 ro ip=off ramdisk_size=40000
CMSDASD=191 CMSCONFFILE=RH6CLONE.CONF-RH6
vnc vncpassword=lnx4vm
8. Copy the sample configuration file and modify the appropriate fields. Refer to the
worksheet in 2.7.4, “Linux user ID worksheet” on page 18. Here are the values used for
the example in this book.
==> copy sample conf-rh6 d rh6clone = =
==> x rh6clone conf-rh6
DASD=100-105,300-301
HOSTNAME=gpok223.endicott.ibm.com
NETTYPE=qeth
IPADDR=9.60.18.223
SUBCHANNELS=0.0.0600,0.0.0601,0.0.0602
NETMASK=255.255.255.128
SEARCHDNS=endicott.ibm.com
GATEWAY=9.60.18.129
DNS=9.0.3.1
MTU=1500
PORTNAME=DONTCARE
PORTNO=0
LAYER2=0
Note: The RHEL 6 installer supports OSA/NIC in layer 2 (Ethernet) mode. In the
example above, the Linux virtual machine is connecting to a layer 3 VSWITCH, so the
parameter LAYER2=0 is set. When connecting in layer 2 mode, set LAYER2=1. Then, if this
guest is connected to a VSWITCH, set VSWITCH=1, signifying that the VSWITCH will
provide the MAC address. If this guest is not connected to a VSWITCH, set VSWITCH=0
and add the parameter MACADDR= followed by the MAC address for this guest.
