Red Hat SATELLITE 5.1.0 RELEASE NOTES Manual de instalación descargar pdf (Pagina 13)

Preface

This IBM® Redbooks® publication describes how to “roll your own” Linux® virtual servers on

IBM System z® hardware under z/VM®. This edition applies to Version 5, Release 4,

Modification 0 of z/VM (product number 5741-A05) and Version 5, Release 2 of Red Hat

Enterprise Linux.

With a z/VM and Linux infrastructure, you can reduce the time between deciding on the

acquisition of new servers and then implementing them because new servers can be

deployed in a matter of minutes. This powerful “build and clone” capability can enable you to

launch new products and services without the exhaustive planning, purchasing, installing and

configuring of new hardware and software that can be associated with conventional discrete

hardware servers. Development groups that need test environments built and rebuilt rapidly to

enable them to efficiently deliver their projects, while handling change management in the

process, can also benefit from this unique advantage.

The publication adopts a cookbook format that provides you with a concise, repeatable set of

procedures for installing and configuring z/VM in a logical partition (LPAR), and then installing

and customizing Linux. To implement these instructions, you need an IBM System z logical

partition with associated resources, z/VM 5.4 media, and a Linux distribution.

This book assumes that you have a general familiarity with System z technology and

terminology. It does not assume an in-depth understanding of z/VM and Linux. It is written for

those who want to get a quick start with z/VM and Linux on the mainframe.

The team that wrote this book

This book was originally written in 2005 by Michael MacIsaac, Jin Xiong and Curtis Gearhart.

It was updated in 2006 by Michael MacIsaac, Carlos Ordonez and Jin Xiong. It was updated a

third time in late 2006 and early 2007 by Marian Gasparovic taking the lead on the SLES 10

version and Brad Hinson of Red Hat working on the RHEL 5 version.

In late 2007 and early 2008, Michael MacIsaac, Brad Hinson, and Lester Peckover updated it

for z/VM 5.4, SLES 10 SP2, and RHEL 5.2.

Michael MacIsaac supports Linux and z/VM on IBM System z® in Poughkeepsie, NY.

Bradford Hinson is the Sr. Support Engineering lead for System z at Red Hat in Raleigh,

North Carolina. He specializes in Linux support for the mainframe, and leads technical

oversight of all System z projects and activities. He holds a BS degree in Computer Science

System p, and has also worked on a number of other system platforms in performance and

other areas, specializing in virtualization. His areas of expertise include System z and Linux

running on the mainframe, as well as performance analysis and modelling. He helped to

develop the IBM VM Performance Toolkit and other IBM VM program products and tools from

other vendors. Lester has written, taught, and presented worldwide on performance and

capacity and other system management topics.
