Abstract:
This IBM® Redbooks® publication is Volume 2 of a series of three books that is called The Virtualization Cookbook for IBM z Systems. The other two volumes are listed: The Virtualization Cookbook for IBM z Systems Volume 1: IBM z/VM 6.3, SG24-8147-01 The Virtualization Cookbook for IBM z Systems Volume 3: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12, SG24-8890 It is recommended that you start with Volume 1 of this series because IBM z/VM® is the base "layer" when you install Linux on IBM z Systems™. Volume 1 starts with an introduction, discusses planning, then describes z/VM installation into a two-node single system image (SSI) cluster, configuration, hardening, automation, and servicing. It adopts a cookbook format that provides a concise, repeatable set of procedures for installing and configuring z/VM by using the Single System Image (SSI) clustering feature. Volumes 2 and 3 describe how to customize your own Linux virtual servers on IBM z Systems hardware under IBM z/VM. The cookbook format continues with installing and customizing Linux. Volume 2 focuses on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). It consists of the following key chapters: Chapter 1, "Install Red Hat Enterprise Linux on LNXADMIN" on page 3, describes how to install and configure RHEL onto the Linux Administration server, which performs the cloning and other tasks. Chapter 2, "Automated Red Hat Enterprise Linux installations by using kickstart" on page 27, describes how to use Red Hat's kickstart tool to create Linux systems. This tool is fundamentally different from cloning in that an automated installation is implemented. You can try kickstart and you can also try cloning. Understand that they try to accomplish the same goal of being able to quickly get Linux systems up and running, and that you do not need to use both. Chapter 3, "Service Red Hat Enterprise Linux with Red Hat Customer Portal" on page 37, describes how the Red Hat Network works. It provides centralized management and provisioning for multiple RHEL systems. Kickstart is an easy and fast way to provision your Linux guests in any supported Linux platform. It re-creates the operating system (OS) from the beginning by using the kickstart profile configuration file that installs the new OS unattended and sets up the new guest according to the definition that was previously set up in the kickstart file. Usually, Linux administration is performed by the same team that manages Linux on all platforms. By using kickstart, you can crea...
