This page is the 'homepage' of the Linux on System z snIPL 'simple network IPL' package. (This page supersedes this old page.)
snIPL - simple network IPL - is a command line tool which serves as remote linux image control using basic Support Element (SE) functions or basic z/VM system management functions on one or more images.
- With snIPL in LPAR mode you can load (IPL) an LPAR from a disk device, send commands to the operating system and retrieve operating system messages; or reset, activate, or deactivate an LPAR for I/O fencing purposes - using the management application programming interfaces (APIs) provided by the HMC (System z Hardware Management Console) or SE (Support Element).
- With snIPL in z/VM mode you can log on, reset, or log off a z/VM guest virtual machine - using the systems management API through a z/VM SMAPI request server (available as of z/VM 5.3) or using (for z/VM 4.4 to z/VM 5.4) the systems management API through a VSMSERVE service machine on your z/VM system.
- With snIPL for STONITH you can activate, deactivate, and reset Linux instances in LPAR mode or running as z/VM guests.
