28 z/VM and Linux on IBM System z: The Virtualization Cookbook for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0

4.1 Installing z/VM from DVD or FTP server

This section assumes a first level installation of z/VM from DVD onto 3390 DASD. If you have

not already done so, complete the worksheet in 2.7.1, “z/VM resources worksheet” on

page 16.

For IBM System z9® hardware and older, you will need access to the Hardware Management

Console (HMC) with a user ID that has authority to go into

single object operations mode,

though this is not pertinent for z/VM V6.1 because it installs onto System z10 or later. The

requirement to be in single object operations mode for z10 or later has been removed.

z/VM V6.1 is shipped on tape, on DVD, and is available from the Internet through electronic

download. z/VM should install faster from tape due to better I/O speeds; however, installing

from tape is becoming less common.

If you are not familiar with the HMC and z/ VM, you may want to use the complete installation

manual z/VM Guide for Automated Installation and Service, Version 6 Release 1.0,

GC24-6097. If you are installing z/VM at the

second level (z/VM under z/VM) or onto

FCP/SCSI disk, you will want to use this z/VM manual because the sections that follow do not

address these options.

4.1.1 Obtaining z/VM through electronic download

z/VM can be ordered and delivered electronically through IBM ShopzSeries. A detailed

discussion is outside the scope of this book; however, short steps are documented. Note that

the steps and links may change over time, but the basic process should remain the same.

You may download the z/VM product install files to a staging machine, such as a Windows

desktop, as was done in this example, and later upload them to an FTP server. However, you

may also download them directly to the machine that will be the FTP server, such as a Linux

PC if it has access to the Internet and a browser.

To order z/VM, perform the following steps:

1. Go to the z/VM service page at:

http://www.vm.ibm.com/service/

2. Click IBM ShopzSeries in the section IBM Support Portals.

3. Sign in by clicking Sign in for registered users in the upper right.

4. Click create new software orders.

5. On Step 1, select z/VM Products and choose VM SDO version 6 in the drop-down menu

to the right. Click Continue.

6. On Step 2, select a hardware system on which you plan to run z/VM from the list of

Hardware systems for your customer number, and click Continue.

7. On Step 3, for the Filter, select VM - VM Base Product, select your language and for the

Filter, select Show all products, then click Show catalog. A submenu appears.

Select z/VM V6 3390 System DDR and click Continue.

8. On Step 4, verify the order and click Continue.

9. On Step 5, verify the entitlements and click Continue.

10.On Step 6, for the Preferred media, select Internet and click Continue.

11.On Step 7, review and click Submit.
