how to install Novell SuSE Linux Enterprise Server for IBM zSeries

Installing SLES on IBM zSeries involves aligning with your mainframe environment, licensing entitlements, and applying the appropriate installation media. The following steps provide a high-level guideline to get you started within a typical zSeries deployment. Always refer to your specific license and the official installation documentation provided through your VLA and PartnerNet access for exact commands and media references.

  • Prepare the IBM zSeries environment: Verify hardware compatibility, obtain the VM or LPAR configuration, and ensure storage and networking infrastructure are ready to support the Linux instance.
  • Acquire and validate entitlement: Retrieve your license entitlement via Electronic Keep, confirm the 1-engine allocation, and ensure the 3-year term is active in your account.
  • Load installation media: Mount the SLES for IBM zSeries installation media in your zSeries environment, or use a network-based deployment method consistent with your infrastructure.

  • Install and activate the OS: Proceed with the SLES installation, select the IBM zSeries profile, and apply the license entitlement to activate the subscription. After installation, enable automatic updates to receive ongoing security patches and feature improvements during the term.

Fun but not for rough play.
Color: Orange
The ball contented our “golden” Jaxson for about 15 minutes. He then thought it was a regular ball and it’s just a little delicate for a big dog. I just wrote it off as a loss. Great idea but should be more durable.

Colorful, Sturdy & Great Value
Color: Large Set of 4
Purchased for our two puppies when they were 2 months old and weighed about 14 pounds so theses balls were a little big for them to hold in their mouths but that didn't stop them from trying. While they did like these balls they much preferred softer soccer balls, the later of which did not hold up well at all. I had hoped they would play with these balls more when they were older but that hasn't happened 5 months later. I guess it's no fun if you can't tear the toy apart. Colors are very bright and they do enjoy chasing after them as long as I am the one rolling them across the room for them. Maybe when they progress to batting things with their paws they will start to do this for themselves.
