REDIRECTED INSTALLATION OF OS/2 2.1

IBM owns all rights to this document. It may not be used for

makes no warranties to this document.
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).
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 following steps describe how to build an OS/2 redirected
installation server, including Dialog or Reponse
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.
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.
2. Install OS/2 2.1 on your primary partition.
3. Install LAPS on your primary partition. When you
configure LAPS, choose the 16/4 Token Ring device drivers and
OS/2 NETBIOS.
4. On Drive D, create the following directory structure:
D:\SERVER
D:\CID
D:\CID\EXE
D:\CID\EXE\QS2V21
D:\CID\IMG
D:\CID\IMG\LAPS
D:\CID\IMG\OS2V21
D:\CID\IMG\SRVIFS
D:\CID\RSP
D:\CID\RSO\OS2V21
5. 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\SERVOCE.EXE D:\SERVER
6. Copy the LAPS disk to your code server. Insert the NTS/2 LAPS
diskette into drive A and type:
A:\LAPSDISK A: D:\CID\IMG\LAPS
7. Do the following steps to unpack necessary files for setting
up the code server.
a. Insert Diskette 7 into drive A
b. Type: UNPACK A:\CID D:\CID\EXE\OS2V21 and press Enter.
c. Type: UNPACK A:\REQUIRED D:\CID\EXE\OS2V21 /N:RSPINST.EXE
and press Enter.
OS/2 diskettes have different color labels due diskette
compression. The diskette you need for the next step, depends
on the color of the diskette label:
Diskette 13 = Blue 3.5" (L)
Diskette 11 = Salmon 3.5" (M)
d. Insert the correct diskette into drive A
e. Type: UNPACK A:\REQUIRED D:\CID\RSP\OS2V21 /N:SAMPLE.RSP
and press Enter.
f. Type: COPY D:\CID\RSP\OS2V21\SAMPLE.RSP
D:\CID\RSP\OS2V21\DEFAULT.RSP and press Enter.
NOTE: In a response file installation, you can customize
DEFAULT.RSP and rename it based on a particular "client's"
name.
8. Do the following to install your OS/2 images on your code
server.
a. Type: CD\CID\EXE\OS2V21 and press Enter.
b. Type: SEIMAGE /S:A: /T:D:\CID\IMG\OS2V21 and press Enter.
9. Build your SRVIFS configuration file. The following
paramenters are described in NTS/2's, Redirected Installation
and Configuration Guide, Chapter 6. Refer to this document to
customize the SRVIFS configuration file for your environment.
Use an ASCII editor to edit D:\SERVER\SERVICE.INI to include the
following statements:
# 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,RES,D:\CID\RSP
10. The THINSRV.EXE :
- Creates or modifies the startup.cmd with statements
necessary to start your code server.
- Appends path information in the CONFIG.SYS.
- Adds ISSDEL.EXE to D:\SERVER. IFSDEL.EXE is not
needed for redirected installation.
a. Type: CD\CID\IMG\SRVIFS and press Enter.
b. Type: THINSRV /R:D:\SERVER\SERVICE.INI /S:D:\CID\IMG\SRVIFS
/T:D:\SERVER /TU:C: and press Enter.
11. Shut down then restart the system. You see the following
message when the code server is started:
IMGSRV01 Server is Active, Version 1.32
Creating LAN Transport Client Diskettes
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The following steps create Dialog Driven and
Response File Driven LAN Transport (LT) client boot
diskettes.
Creating LAN Transport Client Boot diskettes - Dialog Driven
Type the following commands, pressing Enter after each one.
1. CD\CID\EXE\OS2V21
2. SEDISK /S:D:\CID\IMG\OS2V21 /T:A:
(SEDISK prompts you for two formatted diskettes, the
first is the installation diskette, the second is
diskette 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).
5. Insert Diskette 1 into drive A.
6. CD\CID\IMG\SRVIFS
7. THINIFS /T:A: /S:D:\CID\IMG\SRVIFS /TU:A: /REQ:*
/D:X: /SRV:\\IMGSRV01\IMG /W
8. Edit the CONFIG.SYS on diskette 1 to reflect the
following:
a. set OS2_SHELL=X:\OS2V21\DISK_1\SYSINST2.EXE
b. add SET SOURCEPATH=X:\OS2V21 at the end of CONFIG.SYS
Creating LAN Transport Client Boot diskettes - Response File
Driven
----------------------------------------------------------------
Type the following commands, pressing Enter after each one.
1. CD\CID\EXE\OS2V21
2. SEDISK /S:D:\CID\IMG\OS2V21 /T:A:
(SEDISK prompts you for two formatted diskettes, the
first is the installation diskette, the second is
diskette 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).
5. Insert Diskette 1 into drive A.
6. CD\CID\IMG\SRVIFS
7. THINIFS /T:A: /S:D:\CID\IMG\SRVIFS /TU:A: /REQ:*
/D:X: /SRV:\\IMGSRV01\IMG /W
8. THINIFS /T:A: /S:D:\CID\IMG\SRVIFS /TU:A: /REQ:*

9. THINIFS /T:A: /S:D:\CID\IMG\SRVIFS /TU:A: /REQ:*
/D:Z: /SRV:\\IMGSRV01\RSP /W
10. Edit the CONFIG.SYS on diskette 1 to reflect the
following:
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 following
statement:
COPY D:\CID\RSP\OS2V21\DEFAULT.RSP
D:\CID\RSP\OS2V21\CLIENT'S NAME.RSP
