Debian 不会超出 Linux 内核与 GNU 工具集所支持的硬件范围之外。因此,任何被移植了 Linux 内核、libc、gcc 等,并拥有对应的 Debian 移植版的硬件体系或平台都可以运行 Debian。请参考移植页面 http://www.debian.org/ports/s390/ 以了解更多已被 Debian GNU/Linux 测试过的 S/390 体系。
本章仅包含一些通用的信息,以及在何处可以获得更多信息的指导,而不是试图列出支持 S/390 的所有不同硬件配置。
Debian GNU/Linux 9 supports ten major architectures and several variations of each architecture known as “flavors”.
体系 | Debian 命名 | 子体系 | Flavor |
---|---|---|---|
Intel x86-based | i386 | ||
AMD64 & Intel 64 | amd64 | ||
ARM | armel | Marvell Kirkwood and Orion | marvell |
Versatile | versatile | ||
带 FPU 的 ARM | armhf | multiplatform | armmp |
multiplatform for LPAE-capable systems | armmp-lpae | ||
64bit ARM | arm64 | ||
MIPS (big endian) | mips | MIPS Malta (32 bit) | 4kc-malta |
MIPS Malta (64 bit) | 5kc-malta | ||
Cavium Octeon | octeon | ||
MIPS (little endian) | mipsel | MIPS Malta (32 bit) | 4kc-malta |
MIPS Malta (64 bit) | 5kc-malta | ||
Cavium Octeon | octeon | ||
Loongson 3A | loongson-3 | ||
IBM/Motorola PowerPC | powerpc | ||
Power Systems | ppc64el | IBM POWER8 or newer machines | |
64bit IBM S/390 | s390x | 来自 VM-reader 和 DASD 的 IPL | generic |
本文档主要讲述的是 S/390 体系下的安装。如果您在寻找其他 Debian 所支持的体系的信息,请访问 Debian-Ports 网页。
Since Debian Squeeze, support for booting in ESA/390 mode was dropped. Your machine needs to support the z/Architecture, 64-bit support is mandatory. The userland of the s390 port is still compiled for ESA/390, though. All zSeries and System z hardware is fully supported. S/390 support software is included from the kernel 4.3 development stream. The most current information about IBM's Linux support can be found at the Linux on System z® page on developerWorks.
PAV 和 HyperPAV 都透明支持,不需要通过多路(multipathing)获得这些存储系统的特性。要在 DASD 设备选取时配置。设备别名将无法格式化、分区和直接使用。
Multiprocessor support — also called “symmetric multiprocessing” or SMP — is available for this architecture. Having multiple processors in a computer was originally only an issue for high-end server systems but has become common in recent years nearly everywhere with the introduction of so called “multi-core” processors. These contain two or more processor units, called “cores”, in one physical chip.
标准的 Debian 9 内核映像编译时已经加入 SMP 支持。它在非 SMP 系统上使用也没有问题。
几乎所有被 Linux 内核支持的网卡 (NIC) 都被安装系统支持;驱动程序通常会自动加载。
支持的网络设备有:
Channel to Channel (CTC) 和 ESCON connection (实际或模拟)
OSA-2 Token Ring/Ethernet 和 OSA-Express Fast Ethernet (non-QDIO)
QDIO 模式的 OSA-Express,HiperSockets 和 Guest-LANs
