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:
- Your system must be installed.
- 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.
