LnkLst: /* Create the directories on the HOST */

{{TOC right}}

= 1. Known Issues =
1. Installation on {{ic|2 or more DASDs}} (either ECKD and FBA) on z/VM & Hercules (Hyperion) Emulator is {{ic|not supported}} in the installer script ({{ic|setup-alpine}}) at the moment. If you want to install/extend on more than 1 DASD. However, installation on 2 or more virtio (SCSI) disks on KVM is supported just like other architectures.

= 2. The boot media =

For KVM, both ISO image and netboot media (kernel and initramfs) are supported.

For z/VM and Hercules (Hyperion) emulator, netboot media is supported.

For LPAR, netboot media is supported.

Boot media are found at:

* https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.19/releases/s390x/

== Kernel parameters (and parmfile) ==
The Alpine s390x boot media requires following kernel parameters to work: (Details at : {{ic|https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt}})

{{ic|ip{{=}}dhcp}} : use DHCP for network configuration.

{{ic|ip{{=}}client-ip:server-ip:gw-ip:netmask:hostname:device:autoconf:dns1:dns2}} : use static IP configuration, each field is separated by a colon {{ic|:}}
* {{ic|client-ip}} ip address of the guest VM where we are going to run the installer
* {{ic|server-ip}} not used, leave blank or fill with {{ic|none}}
* {{ic|gw-ip}} the gateway ip address
* {{ic|netmask}} the netmask
* {{ic|hostname}} not used, leave blank or fill with {{ic|none}}
* {{ic|device}} the network interface of the guest VM, default is {{ic|eth0}} if left blank
* {{ic|autoconf}} not used, leave blank or fill with {{ic|none}} or {{ic|off}}
* {{ic|dns1}} address of the DNS server
* {{ic|dns2}} address of the 2nd DNS server

{{ic|alpine_repo{{=}}}} : the location of the Alpine repository from which packages are downloaded.

:For stable release, use {{ic|https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.19/main}}

:For rolling release, use {{ic|https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main}}

{{ic|modloop{{=}}}} : the remote location of the image containing kernel's modules, required for LVM and raid setup.

:The remote location of the {{ic|modloop}} image is the same as the kernel and initramfs (see below).

{{ic|ssh_key{{=}}}} : the remote location of your SSH public key which is used to allow SSH connection into the installer. It will be downloaded and copied into {{ic|/root/.ssh/authorized_keys}} in the installer.

{{Note|Fetching public keys from HTTP, HTTPS and FTPS is supported. HTTP should be used only in a local environment where you own the network.}}

{{Note|Alpine Linux security policies are against using passwords for root access via SSH as we consider using public-private key pairs to be a much better approach.}}

'''z/VM & Hercules (Hyperion) Emulator'''

{{ic|dasd{{=}}}} : the addresses of the DASD devices, either ECKD or FBA DASDs. Each device is separated with a comma.

{{ic|s390x_net{{=}}}} : the network interface type and its subchannels. At the moment, only QETH layer 2 is supported, thus the name {{ic|qeth_l2}} is used (see below).

= 3. Pre-installation =

== KVM ==
Create a virtual disk:
{{cmd|$ qemu-img create alpine_disk.qcow2 5G}}

==== Using iso image ====
Download latest iso image from : https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.19/releases/s390x

Start qemu:

{{cmd|$ qemu-system-s390x -M s390-ccw-virtio \
-m 1024 -smp 2 -nographic -enable-kvm \
-net nic -net tap,ifname{{=}}tap0,script{{=}}no \
-hda alpine_disk.qcow2 \
-boot d -cdrom alpine-standard-3.19.0-s390x.iso}}

==== Using netboot media ====
Download the latest [https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.19/releases/s390x/netboot/vmlinuz-lts kernel] and [https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.10/releases/s390x/netboot/initramfs-lts initramfs].

Start qemu: (modify {{ic|ip{{=}}}} {{ic|alpine_repo{{=}}}} {{ssh_key{{=}}}} for your needs)

{{cmd|$ qemu-system-s390x -M s390-ccw-virtio \
-m 1024 -smp 2 -nographic -enable-kvm \

{{Note|If you have direct access to the qemu console, <code>ssh_key</code> might not be required.}}

== z/VM ==
To ease out the process of downloading the images, punch the readers, ipl, etc., [https://github.com/trothr/znetboot '''ZNETBOOT'''] is used.

{{Note|Using a FTP server to host the images and download them from x3270 console also works - thus no need to use ZNETBOOT. }}

==== Create the parm file ====
On your workstation/laptop, create a file named <code>alpine.znetboot</code> in your home directory with contents below (modify <code>dasd=</code><code>s390x_net=</code> <code>ip=</code> <code>alpine_repo=</code> <code>ssh_key=</code> for your needs)

==== Upload to z/VM system via 3270 client ====
[[File:X3270-1.png|right|300px|thumb|Figure 1.]]
On your workstation/laptop, download 2 files [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/trothr/znetboot/master/znetboot.exec <code>znetboot.exec</code>], and [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/trothr/znetboot/master/curl.rexx <code>curl.rexx</code>] to your home directory.

Open 3270 client and log in the z/VM system with your z/VM username and password.

Upload 3 files <code>alpine.znetboot</code>, <code>znetboot.exec</code>, <code>curl.rexx</code> to the z/VM environment using the 3270 client (this tutorial uses x3270). On the top left corner, click "File", then "File Transfer". (Figure 1.)

Do following steps : (Figure 2.) [[File:X3270-2.png|right|300px|thumb|Figure 2.]]
* On "Local File Name" box, enter '''alpine.znetboot''' (the file in your laptop/workstation, at '''~/alpine.znetboot''')
* On "Host File Name" box, enter '''alpine znetboot''' (the file will be in z/VM console)

{{Note|Beware the difference between '''the dot <code>.</code>''' and '''the space <code> </code>''' characters in the file names.}}

* Choose '''Send to host'''
* Choose '''Host is VM/CMS'''
* Choose either '''Fixed''' or '''Variable''' for '''Record Format'''
:Enter a number for LRECL and BLKSIZE, respectively
{{Note|Any line in '''alpine.znetboot''' that has more 80 chars (columns) will be splitted into more than 1 line when uploaded to z/VM (CMS) console via 3270. Count the number of characters/column of the longest line in your '''alpine.znetboot''' and fill it in LRECL. There is no restriction for BLKSIZE but 80 is preferred.}}

* Click '''Transfer File''' box

Repeat the same steps with <code>znetboot.exec</code> and <code>curl.rexx</code> files.

==== (Optional) Check the configuration files ====
On 3270 client, enter following commands to check if the configuration files are correctly transferred:
[[File:X3270-3.png|right|300px|thumb|Figure 3.]]
<code>xedit alpine znetboot</code>

<code>xedit znetboot exec</code>

<code>xedit curl rex</code>

or <code>filel</code> and put <code>xedit</code> on CMD column to edit respective file.

==== Start ZNETBOOT ====
On 3270 client, type below command and wait till Figure 3.:

<code>znetboot alpine</code>

</gallery>
[https://sdl-hercules-390.github.io/html/ Hercules (Hyperion) zSeries Emulator]

Hercules is an open source software implementation of the mainframe System/370 and ESA/390 architectures, in addition to the latest 64-bit z/Architecture. Hercules runs under Linux, Windows, Solaris, FreeBSD, and Mac OS X.

This procedure is not tested on a native zSeries LPAR but will most likely work.
The host is a Fedora Linux V39

==== Create the directories on the HOST ====

on $HOME
<pre><nowiki>
mkdir Alpine mkdir Alpine/rdrr Alpine/dasd /Alpine/prtrr
</nowiki></pre>

==== Download the vmlinuz & initramfs to the host machine ====

From the alpine [https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.19/releases/s390x/netboot/ download] page take the vmlinuz & initramfs files and put on $HOME/Alpine/rdrr directory

==== Create the parm file ====
On your workstation/laptop, create a file named <code>parmfile</code> in your $HOME/Alpine/rdrr directory with contents below (modify <code>dasd=</code><code>s390x_net=</code> <code>ip=</code> <code>alpine_repo=</code> <code>ssh_key=</code> for your needs)

==== Customize the Alpine initramfs-lts file ====

This step is necessary because the emulator don't have a Linux tty console and at the moment of send the alpine-setup.sh script the ssh session with root is not permitted.
The trick is put a root password and create a admin user. This "hack" is taken from [https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/689678/automate-alpine-linux-installation Automate Alpine Linux Installation]

<pre><nowiki>
Alpine has a service called local.
When this service start, it will execute all scripts named *.start found in /etc/local.d/.
But local service is not enabled by default.
Follow these Steps to enable local service, and let it execute our script:

1.- write your installation script, save to myscript.start
extract initramfs-lts. Need to do this in an empty folder

zcat initramfs-lts | cpio -idm
rm -f initramfs-lts
edit init file.

find
exec switch_root $switch_root_opts $sysroot $chart_init "$KOPT_init" $KOPT_init_args

2.-Add these 3 lines before the exec command:

cp /myscript.start $sysroot/etc/local.d/
chmod a+x $sysroot/etc/local.d/myscript.start
ln -s /etc/init.d/local $sysroot/etc/runlevels/default/
copy myscript.start to the same folder of init file

3.-repack initramfs-lts

find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip -1 >initramfs-lts
replace initramfs-lts from iso to the new one.

Reference: https://docs.alpinelinux.org/user-handbook/0.1a/Installing/manual.html
</nowiki></pre>

The myscript.start
<pre><nowiki>
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# delete this hack otherwise this script will run forever
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
rm -f /etc/local.d/myscript.start
rm -f /etc/runlevels/default/local
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# change root pwd to 123@@@
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
echo root:123@@@ | chpasswd
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# create a admin user & change pwd to 123@@@
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
setup-user -a -u -f Admin admin
echo admin:123@@@ | chpasswd

</nowiki></pre>

==== Networking ====
The access to internet needs a Bridge & TAP interface. Write a script as this one:
This script must be executed before the IPL of the guest zLinux
<pre><nowiki>
#!/bin/bash
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# Define tap zLinux zOS
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
BRIDGE=br0
ETH=eno1
TAP0=tap0
IPBR0=192.168.1.2
BROADC=192.168.1.255
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# Conectivity
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
sudo ip link add name "$BRIDGE" type bridge
sudo ip tuntap add "$TAP0" mode tap
sudo ip addr add "$IPBR0"/24 broadcast "$BROADC" dev "$BRIDGE"
sudo ip link set dev "$BRIDGE" up
sudo ip link set dev "$TAP0" master "$BRIDGE"
sudo ip link set dev "$ETH" master "$BRIDGE"
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# FW Rules
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
#sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=trusted \
# --add-interface="$BRIDGE"
#sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=trusted \
# --add-interface="$TAP0"
#sudo firewall-cmd --reload
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# Routes
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
#sudo ip route add default via 192.168.1.1 dev "$BRIDGE"
</nowiki></pre>

Look at the firewall rules to permit the trafic over this.

Start de Hercules (Hyperion) emulator
<pre><nowiki>
$ sudo hercules -f Alpine.cnf > salida.txt
</nowiki></pre>
and do the IPL from the CLI of the emulator

</nowiki></pre>

= 4. Installation =
If you install on z/VM or Hercules (Hyperion) Emulator, steps in this part does not involve the interaction with the 3270 client anymore. Everything is done in the terminal with SSH client.

If you install on KVM, you can either SSH into the installer (below) or directly use the console starting qemu.

Either installing in KVM or z/VM environments, from your workstation/laptop, you will be able to run:
$ ssh root@192.168.1.2 (change ip address to what you specified earlier).
On Hercules (Hyperion) emulator will be with user admin, after login do it root with su - & the password of the mysscript.start for root user (123@@@)

$ ssh admin@192.168.1.2 (change ip address to what you specified earlier) Pwd 123@@@.
if you obtain and "connection refused" at this point of the installation on the host machine use:
<pre><nowiki>
$sudo ip link set dev tap0 master br0
$sudo firewall-cmd --zone=trusted --add-interface=tap0
</nowiki></pre>

Remaining steps are similar to installing Alpine on other architectures (x86, arm, ppc, etc.), either on KVM (using virtio/SCSI disks) or on z/VM and Hercules (Hyperion) emulator with FBA DASDs. Installing on ECKD DASDs requires an additional step, as described below.

== Example ==
Below is the detailed walkthrough of installing Alpine on a single ECKD DASD using LVM and extend that LVM to the second ECKD DASD.

After SSH-ing into the Alpine installer, run:
# setup-alpine

<code>Select keyboard layout [none]:</code>
:press Enter for none

<code>Enter system hostname (short form, e.g. 'foo') [localhost]:</code>
:enter your hostname

<pre>
Available interfaces are: eth0.

:enter SSH server or press Enter for openssh

<code>Which NTP client to run? ('busybox', 'openntpd', 'chrony' or 'none') [chrony]</code>
:enter 'busybox' or press Enter for chrony

''' (next step is the additional step for ECKD DASDs on z/VM)'''
<pre>
Available ECKD DASD(s) are:

On hercules (Hyperion) emulator use {{ic|only}} 1 dasd (the 0120 address preferibly)
0.0.04c0 (3390/0c 3990/e9 IBM)

WARNING: Erase the above disk(s) and continue? [y/N]:</pre>
:enter 'y'

<code>Installation is complete. Please reboot.</code>
:the installation is finished

At this point, don't poweroff the installer right away. Go to [[S390x/Installation#Copying_SSH_keys_to_new_Alpine_system|Copying SSH keys to new Alpine system]] (below) to have SSH access to your new Alpine system.

== Copying SSH keys to new Alpine system ==

{{ic|This step is not necessary under Hercules (Hyperion) Emulator installation}}

By default, Alpine disables root login with a password via SSH. SSH keys are used instead.

After the installer's done running (<code>Installation is complete. Please reboot.</code>), there are 2 ways to copy your SSH key into the new Alpine system:
* Option 1: mount the installed disk and copy the SSH keys while still at the installer's terminal
* Option 2: poweroff the installer, start the new Alpine system and directly add the SSH keys
::: if you install on KVM, boot the new Alpine system on qemu, and copy the SSH keys
::: if you install on z/VM, use the 3270 client to ipl the new Alpine system and copy the SSH keys

'''Option 1'''

If you use 'lvm' + 'sys' installation (like in above example), do:

:<code> # mount /dev/vg0/lv_root /mnt</code>

:<code> # cp -ar /root/.ssh /mnt/root</code>

If you use 'sys' (without LVM) installation, do:

:<code> # mount /dev/dasda3 /mnt</code> (change dasda to dasdb or dasdc, etc. for whichever DASD you chose)

:<code> # cp -ar /root/.ssh /mnt/root</code>

{{Note|In 'sys' installation, 1st partition is boot, 2nd partition is swap, 3rd partition is root }}

Then run <code> # poweroff</code>.

Go to [[S390x/Installation#Login_to_new_Alpine_system|Login to new Alpine system]]

'''Option 2'''

Run <code> # poweroff</code>.

If you use KVM, start qemu with new Alpine system (removing <code>-kernel</code>, <code>-initrd</code>, <code>-append</code> options)

If you use z/VM, open the 3270 client, login with your z/VM username and password. You may need to run <code> ipl cms</code>. Then run <code> ipl 04c0</code> (or whichever DASD device you chose as root disk in earlier steps).

Wait for new Alpine system go up, then login as root user while in the qemu console (on KVM) or 3270 client (on z/VM). Then run:
::<code> # mkdir /root/.ssh</code>
::<code> # wget <nowiki>https://your-website.com/your-ssh-key.pub</nowiki> -O /root/.ssh/authorized_keys</code>
::<code> # chmod 700 /root/.ssh</code>
::<code> # chmod 600 /root/.ssh/authorized_keys</code>

== Login to new Alpine system ==
With hercules (hyperion) emulator do an IPL over the address of the boot disk to start the Alpine zLinux , in this case
<pre><nowiki>
herc =====> ipl 0120
</nowiki></pre>

On your workstation/laptop, use SSH client to login new Alpine system:
{{ic|$ ssh root@192.168.1.2}} (or whichever ip address you used)

== Extending LVM volume ==
After logging in to your new Alpine system, run:
<pre>
# apk add -q util-linux e2fsprogs-extra

If you want to disable swap partition, after finishing NTP client step, quit the installer by pressing {{key|Ctrl}} + {{key|C}}. Then run following command to complete remaining steps:

{{cmd|# setup-disk -s 0}}

{{Note|If you do 'sys' installation, there will be no swap partition anymore and 1st partition will be boot, 2nd partition will be root}}
