Autoinstall quick start for s390x
*********************************
The intent of this page is to provide simple instructions to perform an
autoinstall in a VM on your machine on s390x.
This page is just a slightly adapted page of the
`autoinstall quickstart page<autoinstall_quickstart>` mapped to s390x.
Download an ISO
===============
At the time of writing (just after the Kinetic release), the best place to go
is here:
https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases/22.10/release/
..code-block:: bash
wget https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases/22.10/release/ubuntu-22.10-live-server-s390x.iso -P ~/Downloads
Mount the ISO
=============
.. code-block:: bash
mkdir -p ~/iso
sudo mount -r ~/Downloads/ubuntu-22.10-live-server-s390x.iso ~/iso
Write your autoinstall config
=============================
This means creating cloud-init config as follows:
.. code-block:: bash
mkdir -p ~/www
cd ~/www
cat > user-data << 'EOF'
#cloud-config
autoinstall:
version: 1
identity:
hostname: ubuntu-server
password: "$6$exDY1mhS4KUYCE/2$zmn9ToZwTKLhCw.b4/b.ZRTIZM30JZ4QrOQ2aOXJ8yk96xpcCof0kxKwuX1kqLG/ygbJ1f8wxED22bTL4F46P0"
username: ubuntu
EOF
touch meta-data
The crypted password is just ``ubuntu``.
Serve the cloud-init config over HTTP
=====================================
Leave this running in one terminal window:
.. code-block:: bash
cd ~/www
python3 -m http.server 3003
Create a target disk
====================
Proceed with a second terminal window:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo apt install qemu-utils
...
qemu-img create -f qcow2 disk-image.qcow2 10G
Formatting 'disk-image.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=10737418240 cluster_size=65536 lazy_refcounts=off refcount_bits=16
qemu-img info disk-image.qcow2
image: disk-image.qcow2
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 10 GiB (10737418240 bytes)
disk size: 196 KiB
cluster_size: 65536
Format specific information:
compat: 1.1
lazy refcounts: false
refcount bits: 16
corrupt: false
Run the install!
================
.. code-block:: bash
sudo apt install qemu-kvm
...
You may need to add the default user to the ``kvm`` group: <<BR>>
.. code-block:: bash
sudo usermod -a -G kvm ubuntu # re-login to make the changes take effect
kvm -no-reboot -name auto-inst-test -nographic -m 2048 \
-drive file=disk-image.qcow2,format=qcow2,cache=none,if=virtio \
-cdrom ~/Downloads/ubuntu-22.10-live-server-s390x.iso \
-kernel ~/iso/boot/kernel.ubuntu \
-initrd ~/iso/boot/initrd.ubuntu \
-append 'autoinstall ds=nocloud-net;s=http://_gateway:3003/ console=ttysclp0'
This will boot, download the config from the server (set up in the previous
step) and run the install.
The installer reboots at the end but the ``-no-reboot`` flag to ``kvm`` means
that ``kvm`` will exit when this happens. It should take about 5 minutes.
Boot the installed system
=========================
.. code-block:: bash
kvm -no-reboot -name auto-inst-test -nographic -m 2048 \
-drive file=disk-image.qcow2,format=qcow2,cache=none,if=virtio
This will boot into the freshly installed system and you should be able to log
in as ``ubuntu/ubuntu``.
