then select the type of network protocol you will be installing over.
Section 2.1,
“Making the Installation Data Available”
(page 11) describes how to make the instal-
lation data available for the various types of network connections. Currently, FTP,
HTTP, NFS, and SMB/CIFS (Windows file sharing) are supported.
Now set up the network device over which to receive the installation data: OSA-2 or
OSA Express or HiperSockets. The following network adapters are still available and
usable, but no longer supported: CTC, ESCON, IUCV. Next, choose the CCW bus in-
terface and the physical medium (for example, Ethernet or Token Ring). As a result,
the respective driver is installed and you see the corresponding kernel messages.
Proceeding with the installation, linuxrc displays a list of potential usable read, write,
and, if applicable, data channels. After entering the addresses for each channel, you
may also need to enter additional information, such as the port name for OSA ethernet
cards.
Next, decide whether to use DHCP autoconfiguration for setting up the network interface
parameters. Because DHCP only works on a few devices and requires special hardware
configuration settings, you probably want to say NO here. When you do so, you are
prompted for the networking parameters of your installation network device:
• The IP address of the system to install
• The corresponding netmask
• The IP address of a gateway to reach the server
• The IP address of your domain name server (DNS)
2.5.1 z/VM Installation
After the kernel has completed its start-up routines, answer a few questions regarding
the network setup. First, select the type of network connection to use: OSA-2, OSA
Express, or HiperSockets. In this example installation, OSA Express is used.
The system now displays a possible OSA configuration. Choose first whether to use
QDIO or LCS OSA. Next, choose the physical medium to use and enter the device ad-
dresses. If you prefer another setup, enter the device address of the OSA read channel
(0.0.0700 in this example) then the one of the OSA write channel (0.0.0701) and the
