** Description changed:
IBM and also some early adopter customers complaint about the official Ubuntu
16.04 installation guide for s390x (IBM System z):
https://help.ubuntu.com/16.04/installation-guide/
mentioning that:
- it contains partly outdated information and links
- that there is not enough s390x / IBM z Systems focus
- that the naming is not correct
- that it includes information that is not relevant to s390x
Due to these complaints and because of the urgency I created an adjusted and
revised version of the install guide with special s390x focus and transformed
it (for convenience reasons) to a wiki.
It is located here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/S390X/InstallationGuide
- It includes two further child documents covering:
- - step-by-step instructions on howto setup Ubuntu on z in an LPAR:
- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/S390X/Installation%20In%20LPAR
- - step-by-step instructions on howto setup Ubuntu on z as z/VM guest:
- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/S390X/Installation%20In%20zVM
- - step-by-step instructions on howto setup Ubuntu on z as KVM for IBM z
Systems:
- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/S390X/Installation%20In%20zKVM
- Please update the official Ubuntu 16.04 installation guide available here:
- https://help.ubuntu.com/16.04/installation-guide/
- especially the s390x specific parts with the revised version that is
temporarily available from that wiki:
- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/S390X/InstallationGuide
- It will also be helpful if the links at the Installation Guide landing
- page that points to the s390x version(s) can be temporarily replaced by
- the link to the wiki - just until the update and merge is completed.
+ SRU Request:
+ ============
+
+ [Impact]
+
+ * Updated the desired changes of the inst. guide regarding naming
+ conventions etc.
+
+ * and s390x specific details
+
+ * Because 18.04.1 is the main upgrade target it's important to have it
+ in place with 16.04.1
+
+ * The changes on the doc not only updated the outdated content ...
+
+ * ... but also added new functions and technology (like FCP) that was
+ added to the platform since the last update
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ * Open the updated doc - as either html, PS, PDF or txt ...
+
+ * and compare the modified and new content with the current
+ functionality the platform provides
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ * The regression potential is low because most changes are platform
+ (s390x) specific
+
+ * However, since it's written in docbook with several conditional
+ statements changes on one platform may cause an impact to other, too.
+
+ * For verification reasons I created the guide after my changes not
+ only for s390x, but also for other platforms...
+
+ * ... and even found two issues that I fixed (nested use of xml
+ elements, that cause issues while creating PDF, even if HTML creation
+ still worked fine ...)
+
+ * No impact is expected on an Ubuntu installation itself - since it's
+ documentation only.
