32 z/VM and Linux on IBM System z: The Virtualization Cookbook for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0
6. The LPAR that z/VM will be installed into should still be selected. On the right you should
still see the (CPC) Recovery menu. Double-click the Load from Removable Media or
Server icon.
If you received the z/VM product electronically, you will need to create your own DVDs.
This step is not covered in this book. See the z/VM manual Installation Instructions for
Electronically Delivered IBM z/VM Operating System Deliverable, GI11-2900, on the web
at:

If the DVD is not burned correctly, you may see the error message:
ACT36201 "An error has occurred while trying to obtain a list of the software
that can be loaded. ...".
Further, this error may have the side effect of locking the DVD drive. The HMC may need
to be rebooted. To prevent this from happening, be sure you create the DVDs correctly.
Use newer copies of DVD-burning software that has an option for the ISO9660 format,
which is recommended.
Important: On z10 HMCs and later, it is no longer required to be in Single Object
Operations mode to install z/VM.
On a z9 HMC and older, get into Single Object Operations mode by performing the
following steps:
a. Double-click the Groups icon in the Views Area.
b. Double-click Defined CPCs in the Groups Work Area.
c. Select your CPC.
d. If necessary, go around the racetrack (the buttons with circular arrows on the
bottom right corner) to the CPC Recovery menu.
e. Double-click the Single Object Operations icon. Click Yes to confirm. Now a new
window, Primary Support Element Workplace, should appear (on older HMC
levels it will be a “window within a window”). A window about a certificate not
being valid may appear. If so, click OK.
f. Double-click Groups near the top of this window.
g. Double-click Images in the Groups Work Area.
If you are unable to get into Single Object Operations mode, it may be because you do
not have sufficient permission. Check with the system administrator.
