Anaconda (the installation program) supports the
direct installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux to SCSI devices. This section
includes information on how to IPL from a SCSI device within
z/VM.
To IPL the SCSI disk, we provide the WWPN and LUN to the machine loader
using the SET LOADDEV command.

guest.
