After making all installation settings, click in the suggestion window to begin the installation. Confirm with . Some software may require a license confirmation. If your software selection includes such software, license confirmation dialogs are displayed. Click to install the software. When not agreeing to the license, click and the software will not be installed.
The installation usually takes between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the system performance and the software selected. During this procedure a slide show introduces the features of SUSE Linux Enterprise. Choose to switch to the installation log. As soon as all packages are installed, YaST boots into the new Linux system, after which you can configure the hardware and set up system services.
On the IBM System z platforms, another IPL must be performed after installing the selected software packages. However, the procedure varies according to the type of installation:
In the IBM System z HMC, select , select , then enter the loading address (the device address of the root device). If using a ZFCP disk as the boot device, choose and specify both ZFCP WWPN and LUN of the boot device. Now start the loading process.
Shut down the installed system with the
halt command. Log in to the VM guest as LINUX1 and proceed to IPL the installed
system. If using a ZFCP disk as the boot device, specify both the ZFCP
WWPN and LUN of the boot device before initiating the IPL. The
parameter length is limited to eight characters. Longer numbers must be
separated by spaces:
SET LOADDEV PORT 50050763 00C590A9 LUN 50010000 00000000
Finally, initiate the IPL:
IPL 151 CLEAR
After IPLing the installed system, establish a connection with it to complete the installation. The steps involved in this vary depending on the type of connection used at the outset.
A message in the 3270 terminal asks you to connect to the Linux system using a VNC client. This message is easily missed, however, because it is mixed with kernel messages and because the terminal process might quit before you become aware of the message. If nothing happens for five minutes, try to initiate a connection to the Linux system using a VNC viewer.
If connecting using a Java-capable browser, enter the complete URL, consisting of the IP address of the installed system along with the port number, in the following fashion:
http://<IP of installed system>:5801/
When IPLing the installed system, make sure that the X server used for the first phase of the installation is still available. YaST opens on this X server to finish the installation.

A message in the 3270 terminal asks you to connect to the Linux system with an SSH client. This message is easily missed, however, because it is mixed with kernel messages and because the terminal process might quit before you become aware of the message.
Once the message appears, use SSH to log in to the Linux system as
root. If the connection is
denied or times out, wait a few minutes then try again.
When the connection is established, execute the command /usr/lib/YaST2/startup/YaST2.ssh. yast does not suffice in this case.
YaST then starts to complete the installation of the remaining packages and create an initial system configuration.
