You can now log on to LNX226 and IPL from 1B0. At the initial logon, be sure there are no
errors related to minidisks nor VSWITCH access:

seconds and the modified parameter line:

The script /etc/init.d/boot.findself later run in the boot sequence. It accesses the 191
disk (CMSCLONE 192), read the parameter file and set the TCP/IP address and host name. It
does this by modifying the files /etc/HOSTS, /etc/hostname and the eth0 configuration file
under /etc/sysconfig/network/. Note that the gateway, DNS server and broadcast
information are not modified. The script assumes this information is the same for all Linux
virtual servers. If this information is different, you will need to modify the script
/etc/init.d/boot.findself. See 1.10.1, “The boot.findself script” on page 67 for a complete
listing of the source code.
You should see informational messages similar to the following:
