<div><p>This topic discusses how to create a driver diskette.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<div class="section">The driver diskette is required during installation so that the integration
|
|||
|
|
software needed to provide virtual devices can be installed in Linux<sup>®</sup>. To create
|
|||
|
|
the diskette, complete the following steps:</div>
|
|||
|
|
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>Locate the diskette images in the QIBM directory of the IFS.</span></li>
|
|||
|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><span>From an <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> command
|
|||
|
|
line type the command <kbd class="userinput">WRKLNK OBJ('/QIBM/ProdData/IntegratedOS/Linux/x86/Install/*’)</kbd></span></li>
|
|||
|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Look for an IMG file for either Red Hat Enterprise Linux or for
|
|||
|
|
SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server, depending on what Linux distribution you have selected to
|
|||
|
|
use.</span> <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Whatever versions of the distributions are supported
|
|||
|
|
when you perform your installation, there will be an IMG file for each one
|
|||
|
|
in the IFS directory <span class="filepath">/QIBM/ProdData/IntegratedOS/Linux/x86/Install</span>.</div>
|
|||
|
|
</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><span>On a PC running either Windows<sup>®</sup> or Linux, make a directory on the local hard
|
|||
|
|
drive to store the diskette image:</span> <ul><li>For example, in Windows: <kbd class="userinput">MD C:\Redhat</kbd> <p>You
|
|||
|
|
can use any drive and directory name you wish.</p>
|
|||
|
|
</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>For example, in Linux: <kbd class="userinput">mkdir /home/redhat</kbd> <p>You
|
|||
|
|
can use any drive and directory name you wish.</p>
|
|||
|
|
</li>
|
|||
|
|
</ul>
|
|||
|
|
</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Transfer the image file from the IFS directory <span class="filepath">/QIBM/ProdData/IntegratedOS/Linux/x86/Install</span> to
|
|||
|
|
the directory you created in the previous step using one of the following
|
|||
|
|
methods:</span> <ul><li>FTP the image file to the PC directory as a binary file.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>File sharing<p>Access the IFS directory using iSeries™ NetServer™ from Windows,
|
|||
|
|
or from Linux using
|
|||
|
|
Samba. Then copy the image file to the PC directory.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>The <span class="filepath">/QIBM</span> IFS
|
|||
|
|
directory is shared by default using iSeries NetServer. You should be able to access
|
|||
|
|
this directory and then drill down to <span class="filepath">/QIBM/ProdData/IntegratedOS/Linux/x86/Install</span> without
|
|||
|
|
any setup.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>If you have a problem accessing the /<span class="filepath">QIBM</span> shared
|
|||
|
|
IFS directory you might need to review the setup of iSeries NetServer. In this case, go to the <a href="../rzahl/rzahlstartguide.htm">iSeries NetServer</a> topic.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>You
|
|||
|
|
can connect to the /QIBM IFS directory as follows: </p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><strong>Windows</strong></p>
|
|||
|
|
<ol type="a"><li>Using Windows, click <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">Start</span> > <span class="uicontrol">Run</span></span> and enter the IP address of the <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> partition; for example, <kbd class="userinput">\\161.50.4.3</kbd></li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Click <span class="uicontrol">OK</span>. Drill down to the directory <span class="filepath">/QIBM/ProdData/IntegratedOS/Linux/x86/Install</span> and
|
|||
|
|
copy the file to your PC. </li>
|
|||
|
|
</ol>
|
|||
|
|
<p><strong>Linux</strong></p>
|
|||
|
|
<ol type="a"><li>Using Linux,
|
|||
|
|
to access the IFS directory using Samba, you need to use the <span class="cmdname">SMBMOUNT</span> command
|
|||
|
|
to mount the <em>/QIBM</em> IFS directory in the Linux file system. The format of the command
|
|||
|
|
is: smbmount //<var class="varname">host-name</var>/qibm /mnt/mydata -o <var class="varname">username</var>=<var class="varname">user-name</var>,<var class="varname">password=password</var><ul><li><var class="varname">host-name</var> is the iSeries TCP/IP host name or IP address.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li><var class="varname">user-name</var> is a valid <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> profile
|
|||
|
|
name.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li><var class="varname">password</var> is the password for user-name.</li>
|
|||
|
|
</ul>
|

</li>
|

</ul>

|
<p>For more information on using the <span class="cmdname">smbmount</span> command
|
|||
|
|
to access an iSeries NetServer shared
|
|||
|
|
directory refer to the document at the following Web site: </p>

</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li class="stepexpand"><span>If you copied the diskette image to a Linux PC, create the diskette as follows:</span> <ol type="a"><li>Insert a formatted, blank diskette into the diskette drive.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Change the directory to the directory in which the image is stored.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Use the <span class="cmdname">dd</span> command to transfer the diskette image to
|
|||
|
|
the physical diskette. In the example below, the dd command is being issued
|
|||
|
|
from inside the src directory.<p>dd if=rhel3ixs.img of=/dev/fd0</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>The
|
|||
|
|
input file (if) is the image that was downloaded to the src directory. The
|
|||
|
|
output file (of) is the diskette drive.</p>
|
|||
|
|
</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>To verify that the operation was successful you can mount the floppy device
|
|||
|
|
and list the files using the ls -l command.</li>
|

</ol>

<li class="stepexpand"><span>If you copied the diskette image to a Windows PC, create the diskette as follows:</span> <ol type="a"><li>Insert a formatted, blank diskette into the PC’s diskette drive.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>For RHEL 3, SLES 8 or SLES 9, insert one of the following CD-ROMs into
|
|||
|
|
the PC’s CD-ROM drive:<ul><li>Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 ES or AS: disc 1</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 8: United Linux 1.0 disc 1</li>

</ul>
|

|
</li>
|

|
|
<li>Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the \dosutils\rawritewin
|
|||
|
|
directory (RHEL 3) or \dosutils\rawwritewin directory (SUSE 8 or 9) on the
|
|||
|
|
optical drive and open the folder.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>For RHEL 4, the installation media does not contain any utilities for
|
|||
|
|
creating a driver diskette on Windows. However you can obtain the rawwritewin.exe
|
|||
|
|
utility from the above media or download versions 0.4 or above from the web
|

|
|
site. <p><a href="http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/rawwrite.htm" target="_blank">http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/rawwrite.htm</a> <img src="www.gif" alt="Link outside information center" /></p>
