Boot devices on s390x
|
||||
=====================
|
||||
|
||||
Booting with bootindex parameter
|
||||
--------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
For classical mainframe guests (i.e. LPAR or z/VM installations), you always
|
||||
have to explicitly specify the disk where you want to boot from (or "IPL" from,
|
||||
in s390x-speak -- IPL means "Initial Program Load"). In particular, there can
|
||||
also be only one boot device according to the architecture specification, thus
|
||||
specifying multiple boot devices is not possible (yet).
|
||||
|
||||
So for booting an s390x guest in QEMU, you should always mark the
|
||||
device where you want to boot from with the ``bootindex`` property, for
|
||||
example::
|
||||
|
||||
qemu-system-s390x -drive if=none,id=dr1,file=guest.qcow2 \
|
||||
-device virtio-blk,drive=dr1,bootindex=1
|
||||
|
||||
For booting from a CD-ROM ISO image (which needs to include El-Torito boot
|
||||
information in order to be bootable), it is recommended to specify a ``scsi-cd``
|
||||
device, for example like this::
|
||||
|
||||
qemu-system-s390x -blockdev file,node-name=c1,filename=... \
|
||||
-device virtio-scsi \
|
||||
-device scsi-cd,drive=c1,bootindex=1
|
||||
|
||||
Note that you really have to use the ``bootindex`` property to select the
|
||||
boot device. The old-fashioned ``-boot order=...`` command of QEMU (and
|
||||
also ``-boot once=...``) is not supported on s390x.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Booting without bootindex parameter
|
||||
-----------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The QEMU guest firmware (the so-called s390-ccw bios) has also some rudimentary
|
||||
support for scanning through the available block devices. So in case you did
|
||||
not specify a boot device with the ``bootindex`` property, there is still a
|
||||
chance that it finds a bootable device on its own and starts a guest operating
|
||||
system from it. However, this scanning algorithm is still very rough and may
|
||||
be incomplete, so that it might fail to detect a bootable device in many cases.
|
||||
It is really recommended to always specify the boot device with the
|
||||
``bootindex`` property instead.
|
||||
|
||||
This also means that you should avoid the classical short-cut commands like
|
||||
``-hda``, ``-cdrom`` or ``-drive if=virtio``, since it is not possible to
|
||||
specify the ``bootindex`` with these commands. Note that the convenience
|
||||
``-cdrom`` option even does not give you a real (virtio-scsi) CD-ROM device on
|
||||
s390x. Due to technical limitations in the QEMU code base, you will get a
|
||||
virtio-blk device with this parameter instead, which might not be the right
|
||||
device type for installing a Linux distribution via ISO image. It is
|
||||
recommended to specify a CD-ROM device via ``-device scsi-cd`` (as mentioned
|
||||
above) instead.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Booting from a network device
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Beside the normal guest firmware (which is loaded from the file ``s390-ccw.img``
|
||||
in the data directory of QEMU, or via the ``-bios`` option), QEMU ships with
|
||||
a small TFTP network bootloader firmware for virtio-net-ccw devices, too. This
|
||||
firmware is loaded from a file called ``s390-netboot.img`` in the QEMU data
|
||||
directory. In case you want to load it from a different filename instead,
|
||||
you can specify it via the ``-global s390-ipl.netboot_fw=filename``
|
||||
command line option.
|
||||
|
||||
The ``bootindex`` property is especially important for booting via the network.
|
||||
If you don't specify the the ``bootindex`` property here, the network bootloader
|
||||
firmware code won't get loaded into the guest memory so that the network boot
|
||||
will fail. For a successful network boot, try something like this::
|
||||
|
||||
qemu-system-s390x -netdev user,id=n1,tftp=...,bootfile=... \
|
||||
-device virtio-net-ccw,netdev=n1,bootindex=1
|
||||
|
||||
The network bootloader firmware also has basic support for pxelinux.cfg-style
|
||||
configuration files. See the `PXELINUX Configuration page
|
||||
<https://wiki.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=PXELINUX#Configuration>`__
|
||||
for details how to set up the configuration file on your TFTP server.
|
||||
The supported configuration file entries are ``DEFAULT``, ``LABEL``,
|
||||
``KERNEL``, ``INITRD`` and ``APPEND`` (see the `Syslinux Config file syntax
|
||||
<https://wiki.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Config>`__ for more
|
||||
information).
