- Redirected Installation of OS/2 for Windows
-
-
- This article was compiled using ITSC's Redbook, OS/2 V2.0 and
- V2.1 Remote Installation and Maintenance (gg24-3780-02); NTS/2
- Redirected Installation and Configuration Guide (s96f-8488-00);
- and NTS/2 LAN Adapter and Protocol Support Configuration Guide
- (s96f-8489-00). The above mentioned NTS/2 references are provided
- with IBM's OS/2 LAN Server V3.0 (P/N 96f8400 or 96F8414).
-
-
- The required hardware and software for the code server and for
- its clients are listed in Figure 1.
-
- Figure 1. Code Server and Client Hardware/Software Requirements
-
- Server Hardware/Software Requirements:
-
- 386 or greater
- 8MB RAM (16MB suggested)
- 1.44MB Drive A
- Token Ring Network
- 16/4 Token Ring Adapter (ISA or MCA)
- DASD requirements: 120MB (recommended)
- OS/2 2.1 (recommended)
- NTS/2 LAN Adapter and Protocol Support (LAPS) w/ NTS2FIX
- (NTS2FIX contains fix to LAPSCID.DLL and LAPSPM.DLL.
- Call 1-800-992-4777 to obtain NTS2FIX or obtain Service
- Level wr07020 of LAPS (recommended) which includes
- NTS2FIX.
- NTS/2 Utilities Disk
-
-
- Client Hardware/Software Requirements:
-
- 386 or greater
- 6MB RAM (minimum)
- 1.44MB Drive A
- 16/4 Token Ring Adapter (ISA or MCA)
- minimum OS/2 DASD requirements
-
-
- The procedure described below will provide an administrator or
- end-user a step-by-step procedure to build an OS/2 redirected
- installation server. This procedure includes Dialog or Response
- file-driven-methods of installation. In dialog driven
- installation, the client drives the installation by answering the
- dialog boxes similar to a diskette driven installation. In
- Response File installation, the installation process is driven by
- the contents of a response file.
-
- Step 1. Create a 60MB primary partition (Drive C) for OS/2 2.1
- (recommended) and LAPS, and an extended logical partition (Drive
- D), 60MB, for your code server. Install OS/2 2.1 on your primary
- partition.
-
- Step 2. Install LAPS on your primary partition. When you
- configure LAPS, choose the 16/4 Token Ring device drivers and
- OS/2 NETBIOS.
-
- Step 3. On Drive D, create the directory structure shown in
- Figure 2.
-
- Figure 2. Directory Structure for Drive D on Code Server
-
- d:\server
- d:\cid
- d:\cid\exe
- d:\cid\exe\os2v21
- d:\cid\img
- d:\cid\img\laps
- d:\cid\img\os2v21
- d:\cid\img\srvifs
- d:\cid\rsp
- d:\cid\rsp\os2v21
-
- Step 4. Insert the NTS/2 Utilities diskette into drive A and type
- the following command:
-
- xcopy a:\srvifs d:\cid\img\srvifs
- copy a:\sample\service.* d:\server
- copy d:\cid\img\srvifs\xi*.* d:\server
- copy d:\cid\img\srvifs\service.exe d:\server
-
- Step 5. This step copies the LAPS disk to your code server.
- Insert the NTS/2 LAPS diskette into drive A and type the
- following command:
-
- a:\lapsdisk a: d:\cid\img\laps
-
-
- Step 6. This step unpacks some files necessary to setup your code
- server.
-
- a. Insert Disk 5 into drive A
- b. unpack2 a:\required d:\cid\rsp\os2v21 /n:sample.rsp
- c. copy d:\cid\rsp\os2v21\sample.rsp
- d:\cid\rsp\os2v21\default.rsp
- d. Insert Disk 7 into drive A
- e. unpack2 a:\cid d:\cid\exe\os2v21
- f. unpack2 a:\required d:\cid\exe\os2v21 /n:rspinst.exe
-
- Note, in a response file installation, you can customize
- default.rsp and rename it based on a particular "client's"
- name.
-
- Step 7. This step describes how to install your OS/2 images on
- your code server.
-
- a. cd\cid\exe\os2v21
- b. seimage /s:a: /t:d:\cid\img\os2v21
-
- Step 8. This step will describe how to build your SRVIFS
- configuration file. A description of the parameters below can be
- found in NTS/2's, Redirected Installation and Configuration
- Guide, Chapter 6. Refer to this manual to tune your SRVIFS
- configuration file for your environment.
-
-
- In Step 4, you copied service.ini to d:\server. Use an ASCII
- editor to edit d:\server\service.ini to reflect the statements
- in Figure 3.
-
- Figure 3. Editing d:\server\service.ini
-
- # SRVIFS Configuration file
- Adapter = 0 /* Assumes one Token Ring Adapter in server */
- MaxClients = 5
- MaxFiles = 102
- Name = IMGSRV01 /* Code Server Name */
- GroupName = No
- ClientWorkers = 6
- Path = d:\cid
- PerClient = No
- PermitWrite = No
- alias=readonly,single,exe,d:\cid\exe
- alias=readonly,single,img,d:\cid\img
- alias=readonly,single,rsp,d:\cid\rsp
-
-
- Step 9. In this step, thinsrv.exe accomplishes three tasks: (1)
- it creates or modifies your startup.cmd with statements necessary
- to start your code server; (2) it apends path information in your
- config.sys; (3) it adds ifsdel.exe to d:\server. IfSdel.exe will
- not be needed for redirected installation.
-
- a. cd\cid\img\srvifs
- b. thinsrv /r:d:\server\service.ini /s:d:\cid\img\srvifs
- /t:d:\server /tu:c:
-
- Step 10. Shut down and reboot. Figure 4 displays what you see
- when your code server has successfully started.

- Creating LAN Transport Client Diskettes
-
- Step 11. This step creates your LAN Transport (LT) client boot
- diskettes. 11A (in Figure 5) is the only step that dialog and
- response file driven methods have in common. To build a set of
- dialog driven diskettes, follow steps 11A and 11B (Figure 6).
- To build a set of response file driven diskettes, follow steps
- 11A and 11C (Figure 7).
-
- Figure 5. Creating LAN Transport Client Boot diskettes, Step 11A.
-
- 11A. 1. cd\cid\exe\os2v21
- 2. sedisk /s:d:\cid\img\os2v21 /t:a:
- (SEDISK will prompt for two formatted disks, the first is
- the installation disk, the second is disk_1 of your LT
- boot diskettes).
- 3. cd\cid\img\laps
- 4. thinlaps d:\cid\img\laps a: IBMTOK.NIF
- (If your are using a Token Ring Bus Master Adapter, use
- IBMTRBM.NIF in place of IBMTOK.NIF).
-
-
- Figure 6. Creating LAN Transport Client Boot diskettes, Step 11B.
-
- 11B. Dialog driven:
-
- 1. Insert Disk 1 into drive A from 11A.
- 2. cd\cid\img\srvifs
- 3. thinifs /t:a: /s:d:\cid\img\srvifs /tu:a: /req:*
- /d:x: /srv:\\imgsrv01\img /w
- 4. edit the config.sys of disk_1 with this change:
-
- a. set os2_shell=x:\os2v21\disk_1\sysinst2.exe
- b. add set sourcepath=x:\os2v21 at the end of config.sys
-
-
- Figure 7. Creating LAN Transport Client Boot diskettes, Step 11C.
-
- 11C. Response file driven:
-
- 1. Insert disk_1 into drive A from 11A
- 2. cd\cid\img\srvifs
- 3. thinifs /t:a: /s:d:\cid\img\srvifs /tu:a: /req:*
- /d:x: /srv:\\imgsrv01\img /w
- 4. thinifs /t:a: /s:d:\cid\img\srvifs /tu:a: /req:*
- /d:y: /srv:\\imgsrv01\exe /w
- 5. thinifs /t:a: /s:d:\cid\img\srvifs /tu:a: /req:*
- /d:z: /srv:\\imgsrv01\rsp /w
- 6. edit the config.sys of disk_1 with this change:
-
- a. set os2_shell=y:\os2v21\rspinst.exe
- z:\os2v21\"client".rsp where "client" is the
- client's name or use default.rsp.
- b. add set sourcepath=x:\os2v21 at the end of config.sys
-
- If using client's name in place of default.rsp, run the statement
- below:
-
- copy d:\cid\rsp\os2v21\default.rsp
- d:\cid\rsp\os2v21\"client's" name.rsp
