Specify information for a particular client or set of clients.
o Type of LAN Adapter installed on the client workstation.
o Adapter Number to be used for SRVIFS. The default is Adapter 0.
o Session timeout value of 15 or 30 seconds. You may want to select the
higher value when the LAN is bridged by slower line speeds, such as a
LAN-to-LAN WAN or a remote bridge.
o Path and Filename of the specific PROTOCOL.INI file that you want to install
on the client boot diskette. You may use your own file name for a non-default
PROTOCOL.INI file; it will be renamed to PROTOCOL.INI at installation time. If
this parameter is omitted, a default PROTOCOL.INI will be created.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 16. Help for Client Identification ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Specify how this client will be identified by this code server.
o Automatically creating client name at install time will allow any client to
use these boot diskettes. The client name will be determined during the
connection process, and the default response files will be used. This option
should not be selected if the default code server configuration has been
modified to include a client authorization list, or if LAN NetView Start
installation command files will be used.
o Selecting Prompt user for client name will prompt the user at the
workstation for a client name during installation.
o If you want to Obtain name from client IBMLAN.INI file, the CONFIG.SYS file
on the boot drive will be searched for the IFS=path\NETWKSTA.IFS /I: path
statement to find the path for IBMLAN.INI.
o If you select Specify client name on boot diskette and enter a client name,
these boot diskettes will establish a remote install session using the
specified client name. If the default code server configuration has been
modified to include a client authorization list, then the client's name must

Guide for information on creating an authorization list.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 17. Help for Installation Command File ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
A default installation command file was created when product diskette images
were installed. This command file will allow a client to install all the
product images that have been installed using the Setup Utility. If the Use
the default installation command file option is selected, then the default
installation command file will be used whenever a client-specific command file
does not exist in the ..\CID\CLIENT directory. A client-specific command file
is an installation command file that has a filename equal to the client name.
If LAN NetView Start is installed on this code server, you will be prompted on
another panel to provide the SNA Network Name which LAN NetView Start uses to
extend the CID directory structure. If you select this option, and LAN NetView
Start is installed, you must ensure that there is a default installation
command file in the ..\CID\CLIENT\<network name> subdirectory.
If you select Do not use the default installation command file, the
..\CID\CLIENT subdirectory (or ..\CID\CLIENT\<network name> subdirectory if LAN
NetView Start is installed) must contain a file called <clientname>.CMD, which
defines the set of products to be installed on that client's workstation. This
option is not valid if you selected Automatically create client name at install
time on the previous panel.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 18. Help for Server Config ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Server configuration allows you to modify the default configuration for the
code server's LAN communications. The following parameters are specified in the
SRVIFS configuration file (SERVICE.INI) which is located in the \CID\SERVER
directory on the drive where Redirected Installation Support is installed.
o Server Name specifies the 1 to 8 character NETBIOS name by which this server
will be known on the network. If this name does not apply to a group of
servers, the name must be unique on your logical LAN network. The Yes value
provides for multiple servers with the same name, allowing more than one server
to provide the same service.
o Network Adapter specifies the adapter to be used by the SRVIFS server
program. The default is 0.
o Maximum number of concurrent install sessions specifies the number of
clients that are allowed to concurrently connect to this server. The default
is 1.
o Maximum number of open files specifies the number of files that the server
may have open concurrently. The default is 100.
o Number of threads for supporting client requests defines the number of
threads used to support workstation requests. The default is 2. For large
networks (20 or more concurrent clients), a value of 12 is recommended.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 19. Help for Corrective Service Required ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select the Install corrective service now option if you have the OS/2 2.0
Service Pack Version 2.00 diskettes available at this time. If you do not have
the version 2.00 Service Pack diskettes, select the Continue without installing
corrective service option. This option will allow you to continue with the
installation of the OS/2 diskette images in order to create client diskettes.
However, if you do not install corrective service diskettes now, clients will
not be able to remotely install OS/2 from this code server. You may later
reinstall the OS/2 2.0 diskette images with the Version 2.00 Service Pack
diskettes in order to enable this code server to support the remote
installation of OS/2.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 20. Help for More Server Configuration ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
o Default drive for remotely attached clients and Root directory specify the
drive and path that appears as the root of the attached drive to the client
workstation.
o Type of access specifies whether the path defined can be accessed in
ReadWrite or ReadOnly mode.
o If enabled, Create a subdirectory for each client will create and use a
subdirectory descendant from the path directory for each client. The
subdirectory name will be the client name.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 21. Help for Remove Product Images ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select the product images that you want to be removed from this code server.
Only installed product images are selectable for removal. Note that the remote
installation of OS/2 requires NTS/2 LAPS. Therefore, the NTS/2 LAPS diskette
images cannot be removed while the OS/2 images are installed. Installation
command files and response files will not be removed.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 22. Help for Specify Target Drive ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Specify the target drive location to be used to create a set of bootable
diskettes for clients.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 23. Help for Setup Utility for Redirected Install ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Setup Utility for Redirected Install is an applet designed to assist
administrators in the task of installing and configuring a code server for
redirected installation. The utility also creates bootable diskettes that may
be used by clients to remotely install applications from this code server.
The setup utility provides the following functions to assist administrators in
preparing for redirected installation:
o A Presentation Manager interface for the installation and removal of
Redirected Install Support. Redirected Install Support includes the LAN CID
Utility (LCU) and the Service Installable File System (SRVIFS).
o Initial configuration and reconfiguration of SRVIFS.
o Installation and Removal of diskette images for:
- OS/2 2.0
- NTS/2 LAN Adapter and Protocol Support
- Extended Services
- LAN Server 3.0
Note: Both Extended Services and the Extended Services CID Utility Product are
required for redirected installation of Extended Services.
o Creating a default command file that will allow clients to install all
product images that were installed on the code server through the Setup
Utility.
o Creating bootable diskettes for use by clients to initialize and execute
remote install sessions.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 24. Keys Help ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
There is no help on keys.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 25. Needs Help ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Sorry, there is no help available for this panel.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 26. Help for LAN NetView Start Support ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Specify whether this client will use an installation command file created by
the LAN NetView Start program.
o Select No if this client will not use an installation command file created
by the LAN NetView Start program. Client diskettes will be created to search
the ..\CID\CLIENT subdirectory for installation command files. The LAN NetView
Start subdirectory will not be used.
o Select Yes if this client will use an installation command file created by
the LAN NetView Start program. This will cause client diskettes to search for
installation command files in the LAN NetView Start subdirectory.
Enter the SNA Network Name as specified by the /NETWORK parameter when LAN
NetView Start is invoked. The default SNA Network Name is NET1. This name is
used by LAN NetView Start to extend the CID directory structure for the storage
of client command, response and log files. Client diskettes will be created to
access the ..\CID\CLIENT\<network name> subdirectory.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 27. Help for Generate Server Report ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select Generate Server Report to create a report on the setup of your code
server. You may edit or print this file, called REPORT.DAT, from the ..\CID
directory on the drive where Redirected Installation Support is installed. The
report may be used in conjunction with the LAN NetView Start Directory Mapping
object to manage server/alias attach points (SRVATTCHs).
