PDF

You can install Red Hat Enterprise Linux on 64-bit IBM Z interactively or in unattended mode. Installation on 64-bit IBM Z differs from other architectures as it is typically performed over a network, and not from local media. The installation consists of three phases:

Booting the installation
- Connect to the mainframe
- Customize the boot parameters
- Perform an initial program load (IPL), or boot from the media containing the installation program
Connecting to the installation system
- From a local machine, connect to the remote 64-bit IBM Z system using SSH, and start the installation program using Virtual Network Computing (VNC)
Completing the installation using the RHEL installation program
