Linux for System z has generated a lot of excitement among System z customers. However, for many this is a new and strange environment. This workshop will provide an opportunity to install and configure Linux for System z in a z/VM virtual machine. The hands on portion of this workshop will be self paced, and result in a Linux for System z system running Apache, Samba, DNS (BIND), a firewall and the KDE desktop.
The goal is to equip each attendee with the skills required to return home and install Linux for System z using the distributions from Novell/SUSE, Red Hat, or the binary objects available for download from the Marist College web site.
NEW: Recently updated lab exercises will allow attendees to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 or Novell/SUSE SLES 11 to an FCP attached SCSI device. After installation additional exercises will create two additional, multipath FCP attached SCSI devices and join them in a Logical Volume.
This lab will be continued with Part 2 immediately following.
