CL Command Reference - INSWNTSVR

CL Command List > INSWNTSVR Reference

Description:

The Install Windows Server (INSWNTSVR) command installs the Windows server Base Operating System on an Integrated xSeries server. INSWNTSVR also installs Integrated Server Support code on the server.

Windows server installation occurs in two steps. During the first step, the INSWNTSVR command creates all necessary objects to manage the server. This includes a network server description, message queue, line descriptions, storage spaces and TCP/IP interfaces.

For INSTYPE of *FULL, it also copies the install code for the Windows server Base Operating System from the Windows server installation media image.

During the second step of the Windows server installation, the Integrated xSeries server is varied on to start the Windows server installation.

For INSTYPE of *BASIC, the ServerGuide CD is inserted into the external servers locally attached CD-ROM or DVD drive and the server is varied on. At this point, the INSWNTSVR command ends. The ServerGuide CD in the server is booted from and continues with the process of configuring the server, including detecting and configuring any devices or adapters and preparing the system for the Windows installation.

Further Windows server installation is performed using the file server console and the normal Windows server install process.

When INSWNTSVR completes normally, the Windows server is left in a varied on state.

Restrictions:

1. You must have input/output system configuration (*IOSYSCFG), all object (*ALLOBJ) and job control (*JOBCTL) special authorities to run this command.

2. This command may require interactive input using the file servers console.

3. The file server must be varied off initially.

4. The file server will also be varied off and back on during the second step of the install as Windows server installs and requires the server to reboot.

Any errors that occur during the first step of configuring the file server will result in the failure of this command.

After this command is run, if you need to manage the different resources created, use the following commands:

. To check out the status of the Windows server, use the Work with Configuration Status command; WRKCFGSTS CFGTYPE(*NWS).

. To manage the server just installed, use the Work with Network Server Descriptions command; WRKNWSD NWSD(nwsdname).

. To manage the line descriptions created by this command, use the Work with Line Descriptions command; WRKLIND LIND(nwsdname*). The line descriptions are named using the network server name specified on the NWSD parameter of the INSWNTSVR command.

. To manage the TCP/IP interfaces created by this command, use the Work with TCP/IP Network Status (NETSTAT) command, option 1. Another option is to use the Configure TCP/IP (CFGTCP) command, option 1.

. To manage the network server configurations just created by this command, use the Work with NWS Configuration command; WRKNWSCFG NWSCFG(nwsdname*). The network server configurations are named using the network server name specified on the NWSD parameter of the INSWNTSVR command.

This command installs a Windows server named W2KSERV. W2KSERV is the network server description associated with the Windows 2000 Server operating system that will be installed on the Integrated xSeries Server resource LIN09.

A fully controlled install will be performed with a system drive size of 2500 MB that will automatically be converted to NTFS during the install. The Windows 2000 Server will join the XYZGROUP workgroup. A per seat license mode will be configured and Terminal Services will be installed on the server.

The TCP/IP local host name is the same as the server description name. The TCP/IP local domain name is the same as the OS/400 system and the same name servers will be used. The TCP/IP address 206.5.8.48 will automatically be configured for the first LAN adapter detected on the Integrated xSeries Server.
