Part I. Installation on x86,

AMD64, Intel 64, and Itanium

Processor Family

Installation Considerations

This chapter encompasses all the decisions that need to be made before installing SUSE®

Linux Enterprise Server on x86, AMD64, Intel 64, and Itanium hardware. Find the

current hardware and software requirements for installing SUSE Linux Enterprise

Server on x86, AMD64, Intel 64, and Itanium in the Architecture-Specic Information

manual, which is contained on the rst CD or DVD as a printable PDF in the /docu

directory.

1.1 Installation Type

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server is normally installed as an independent operating system.

With the introduction of Xen, it is also possible to run multiple instances of SUSE

Linux Enterprise Server on the same hardware. However, the controlling Domain-0

installation for Xen is done like a typical installation with some additional packages.

The installation of Xen guests is described in Installation and Administration, which

is available in the installed system as well as on the rst CD or DVD.

1.2 Boot Methods

Depending on the hardware used, the following boot methods are available for the rst

boot procedure prior to the installation of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server:

Installation Considerations 3

Table 1.1 Boot Options

UseBoot Option

The simplest booting method. The system requires a locally-

available CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive for this.

CD or DVD drive

Find the images required for creating boot disks on the rst CD

or DVD in the /boot directory. See also the README in the

Floppy or USB

disks

same directory. Booting from a USB memory stick is only pos-

sible if the BIOS of the machine supports booting from it.

Must be supported by the BIOS or by the rmware of the system

used. This option requires a boot server in the network. This

task can be handled by another SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.

PXE or bootp

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server can also be booted from hard

disk. For this, copy the kernel (linux) and the installation

Hard disk

system (initrd) from the /boot/loader directory of the

rst CD or DVD onto the hard disk and add an appropriate entry

to the boot loader.

1.3 Installation Source

When installing SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, the actual installation data must be

available in the network, on a hard disk partition, or on a local CD-ROM or DVD. To

install from the network, you need an installation sever. To make the installation data

available, set up any computer in a Unix or Linux environment as an NFS, HTTP, or

FTP server. To make the installation data available from a Windows computer, release

the data with SMB.

The installation source is particularly easy to select if you congure an SLP server in

the local network. For more information, see Section “Setting Up the Server Holding

the Installation Sources” (Chapter 4, Remote Installation, ↑Installation and Administra-

tion).
