15.2. Performing a remote RHEL installation by using RDP on IBM Z
After the Initial Program Load (IPL) of the Anaconda installation program is complete, connect to the 64-bit IBM Z system from a local machine, as an install user by using an ssh connection. You need to connect to the installation system to continue the installation process. Use the RDP mode to run a GUI-based installation or use the established connection to run a text mode installation.
Prerequisites
- You booted the installation media
The initial program boot is complete on the 64-bit IBM Z system, and the command prompt displays:
Starting installer, one moment… Please ssh install@my-z-system (system IP address) to begin the install.
Procedure
To set up a remote connection with the 64-bit IBM Z system from a local machine, open the terminal and on the command prompt, run the following command:
$ ssh install@my-z-system-domain-nameor
$ ssh install@my-z-system-IP-addressThe ssh session displays the following output:
