5.3 Installation Source

In case of the FCP-attached CD-ROM, the installation data is read from the CD-ROM. For all other IPL options, the installation data must be available on the internal network. In a Unix or Linux environment, the installation data can be provided on a workstation set up as an NFS or FTP server. To make the installation data available from a Windows workstation, release it on an SMB share. Several FTP software packages for Windows are available as an alternative, however, their use is not always free of problems.
