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

  1. 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-name

    or

    $ ssh install@my-z-system-IP-address
  2. The ssh session displays the following output:

    Starting installer, one moment...
    libreport is not available in this environment - bug reporting disabled
    anaconda 40.22.3.26-1.el10_0 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.0 started.
     * installation log files are stored in /tmp during the installation
     * shell is available in second TMUX pane (ctrl+b, then press 2)
     * when reporting a bug add logs from /tmp as separate text/plain attachments
    
    Wayland startup failed, falling back to text mode.
    ================================================================================
    ================================================================================
    Wayland was unable to start on your machine. Would you like to start an RDP
    session to connect to this computer from another computer and perform a
    graphical installation or continue with a text mode installation?
    
    1) Use graphical mode via Remote Desktop Protocol
    2) Use text mode
    
    Please make a selection from the above ['c' to continue, 'q' to quit, 'r' to
    refresh]:

    If you have configured the inst.rdp parameter, proceed to step 4.

  3. Enter 1 to start RDP.
  4. Enter RDP username and password, if you have not set these values previously via inst.rdp.username and inst.rdp.password boot options.
  5. Use an RDP client to connect to the provided network address.

    You will be asked to provide the username and password you have set in the previous steps.

    注意

    If you have started the installation with the inst.rdp boot option, the installer will not ask you to connect via ssh. Instead, provide the RDP username and password in the console, as described in the step 4 above.
