Installation Process

  1. Logon as SYSPROG on the HMC
  2. Expand Systems Management
  3. Select the system name of the server
  4. Select the LPAR.
  5. Check the Image Profile Definition. Expand Operational Customization > Customize/Delete Activation Profiles. For KVM for z the LPAR Mode is defined as LINUX only.

  1. If the status is Not Activated, expand Daily and click on Activate. You should see the Sucess Status.

  1. If the status is Not Operating, expand Recovery > Load from Removable Media or Server

  1. You should see this screen

  1. Click on FTP Source, and type the FTP information

  1. The file location field points to the directory where we put the example .ins files, as described in 3.2, “Preparing the infrastructure” on page 29. When the FTP server is contacted, a table listing all of the .ins files displays. In this example, we chose the abassani.ins file, as shown in Figure 3-6 on page 37. This file contains all the necessary information for installing KVM for IBM z Systems on the SCSI devices.

  1. Click Yes to continue (Message ACT33501).

  1. Load is a disruptive task. CLick Yes again to confirm

  1. The Load from Removable media or Server Progress shows up.

  1. If you access to the FTP Server Log, you can see the kernel.img and initrd.img files being transferred...

  1. On the HMC, expand Daily and open the Operating System Messages console to see the installation process.

  1. Read the messages on Operating System Messages screen. With success or NOT, you probably will receive the Success Status on Load from Removable media or Server Progress screen...

Most of my successfully installations tests, took for me, only 21 seconds (see image below):

  1. If necessary, start over the Load from Removable Media or Server task.
  2. It takes time to load the installer (initrd, kernel and install.img files). In my Lab environment, took just 2 minutes to receive the SSH logon message...
  3. Notice that all installer panels use the ncurses interface. More information - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ncurses
  4. When the installation finishes, a kickstart file named kvmibm-ks.cfg is automatically generated in the /root directory. You can optionally use this file to perform an unattended installation; for information, see “Installing in an unattended manner.”
  5. Start the SSH connection with the KVM host

(optional) you can also watch this video:

This is the content of the kvmibm-ks.cfg file:
