Take a look at the Linux Information Center for Installing Linux with the IBM Installation Toolkit for PowerLinux, http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/lnxinfo/v3r0m0/topic/liaan/powerpack.htm.

You can use the IBM Installation Toolkit to:

• Install and configure Linux on a non-virtualized Power Systems server.
• Install and configure Linux on servers with previously-configured logical partitions (LPARs, also known as virtualized servers).
• Install IBM service and productivity tools on a new or previously installed Linux system. The IBM service and productivity tools include dynamic logical partition (DLPAR) utilities.
• Upgrade system firmware level on Power Systems servers.
• Perform diagnostics or maintenance operations on previously installed systems.
• Access documentation resources included with IBM Installation Toolkit.
• Migrate a LAMP server (software stack) and application data from a System x® to a System p® system.

 

New in IBM Installation Toolkit version 5.2:

• Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.8
• Support for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP2
• IBM Installation Toolkit Simplified Setup Tool 2.1
• IBM Electronic Service Agent for PowerLinux
