You must configure the Linux operating system before
you can use z Systems hosts with the system.
Before you configure the host operating systems, complete
the following tasks:
- An service representative must install the Lenovo Storage V series system.
- You must install the appropriate host bus adapters.
After the prerequisite tasks are complete, use the following
general steps to configure your z Systems hosts that are running the
Linux operating system:
- Zone the host to the system on the Fibre Channel SAN.
For more information, see the zoning details and zoning examples
topics in the Configuring section of the help.
- Create the host on the system using the worldwide port
names (WWPNs).
Map the volumes to the host, as required.
- Configure your Linux system for FCP attachment.
See the latest versions of the Linux on zSeries Device Drivers
and Installation Commands for the Linux Kernel and Device
Drivers, Features and Commands for the Linux Kernel publications
for additional information.
- See your host publications for additional configuration
tasks.
