Running INSTDVD
The INSTDVD EXEC copies the z/VM system from DVD to disk.
1. Execute the INSTDVD EXEC:
==> instdvd
2. If you are using 3390-3s, you see a window asking for the five volumes as shown in
Figure 4-7 (if you are using 3390-9s, you will only see three lines).
Figure 4-7 INSTDVD DASD address window
a. Enter the addresses of the five volumes (or three volumes, for 3390-9s) that z/VM will
be installed on.
b. Press F5 to start the installation.
3. Verify that the five DASD addresses to be installed onto are correct. When you see the
question DO YOU WANT TO CONTINUE?, type Y. You should see the message NOW FORMATTING
DASD <D850>.
4. You are asked to place the system RSU in the drive. Insert the z/VM Stacked
Recommended Service Upgrade 5401 DVD into the HMC DVD-ROM drive.
Important: The angle brackets <> in the example should not be typed. They are used
throughout the book to signify that you should replace the example value with the
correct value for your site. For example, if you are installing z/VM onto DASD
1200-1204, you would type the following:
==> att 1200-1204 *
Important: INSTDVD can take from 45 minutes to two hours or more. You may want to
use this time to set up an NFS server, as explained in Chapter 6, “Configuring a
Network File System server for RHEL 5.2” on page 85.
Also, read errors have been observed resulting in INSTDVD failing. If this is the case, you
can try the command instdvd (restart and the install process should pick up where
the read error occurred. This error can be caused by dirt or fingerprints on the DVD.
