<p>The Install Linux Server (INSLNXSVR) command installs the Linux server Base Operating System on an Integrated xSeries server. INSLNXSVR also installs <u> Integrated Server Support </u> code on the server.
</p>
<p>Linux server installation occurs in two steps. During the first step, the INSLNXSVR 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.
</p>
<p>During the second step of the Linux server installation, the Integrated xSeries server is varied on to start the Linux server installation.
</p>
<p>Further Linux server installation is performed using the file server console and the normal Linux server install process.
</p>
<p>When INSLNXSVR completes normally, the Linux server is left in a varied on state.
</p>
<p><b>Restrictions:</b>
</p>
<ul>
<li>You must have input/output system configuration (*IOSYSCFG), all object (*ALLOBJ) and job control (*JOBCTL) special authorities to run this command.
</li>
<li>The file server must be varied off initially.
</li>
<li>The file server will also be varied off and varied back on during the second step of the install as Linux server installs and requires the server to reboot.
</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Usage Notes:</b>
</p>
<p>Any errors that occur during the first step of configuring the file server will result in the failure of this command.
</p>
<p>After this command is run, if you need to manage the different resources created, use the following commands:
</p>
<ul>
<li>To check out the status of the Linux server, use the Work with Configuration Status command; WRKCFGSTS CFGTYPE(*NWS).
</li>
<li>To manage the server just installed, use the Work with Network Server Descriptions command; WRKNWSD NWSD(network-server-name).
</li>
<li>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 (NWSD parameter) specified on the INSLNXSVR command.
</li>
<li>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.
</li>
<li>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 (NWSD parameter) specified on the INSLNXSVR command.
</li>
</ul>

An example of a CD-ROM volume path name would be '/QOPT/NTSRV40A'.
</p>
<p>To find out the name of a volume on an optical device, use the command: DSPOPT VOL(*MOUNTED) DEV(device-name). If you do not know the name of the optical device, use the command: WRKCFGSTS CFGTYPE(*DEV) CFGD(*OPT)
</p>
<p>To find out the name of a path in an IFS directory, use the Work with Object Links (WRKLNK) command. WRKLNK will show the directory object path names on the system.

<h3>Virtual PTP Ethernet port (VRTPTPPORT)</h3>
<p>Specifies the TCP/IP configuration for the virtual point-to-point Ethernet port.
</p>
<p><b>Notes:</b>
</p>
<ol>
<li>The VRTPTPPORT parameter must be used for Integrated xSeries servers running on the host system.
</li>
<li>The subnet mask that is used for both sides of the virtual point-to-point Ethernet port is 255.255.255.0 by default. Therefore, the internet addresses that are chosen for both sides of the virtual point-to-point Ethernet port must have the same values for the first three parts of the internet addresses.
</li>
</ol>
<p><b>Element 1: Internet address</b>
</p>
<p>Specifies the internet address for the host side of the virtual point-to-point Ethernet connection. Specify one of the following values:
</p>
<dl>
<dt><b><u>*GEN</u></b></dt>
<dd>Specify *GEN to let the INSLNXSVR command configure a virtual point-to-point Ethernet port with a generated internet address.
</dd>
<dt><b><i>character-value</i></b></dt>
<dd>Specify the host internet address for the virtual point-to-point Ethernet port in the form, <u> xxx.yyy.zzz.nnn</u> , where <u> xxx</u> , <u> yyy</u> , <u> zzz</u> , and <u> nnn</u> are decimal numbers ranging from 0 through 255. The internet address selected must be unique across all NWSD objects and the host TCP/IP configuration. The <u> xxx.yyy.zzz</u> value in the internet address must match the <u> xxx.yyy.zzz</u> value for the internet address of the Linux server side of the point-to-point Ethernet port.
</dd>
</dl>
<p><b>Element 2: Linux internet address</b>
</p>
<p>Specifies the internet address for the Linux side of the virtual point-to-point Ethernet connection. Specify one of the following values:
</p>
<dl>
<dt><b><u>*GEN</u></b></dt>
<dd>Specify *GEN to let the INSLNXSVR command configure a virtual point-to-point Ethernet port with a generated internet address.
</dd>
<dt><b><i>character-value</i></b></dt>
<dd>Specify the Linux server internet address for the virtual point-to-point Ethernet port in the form, <u> xxx.yyy.zzz.nnn</u> , where <u> xxx</u> , <u> yyy</u> , <u> zzz</u> , and <u> nnn</u> are decimal numbers ranging from 0 through 255. The internet address selected must be unique across all NWSD objects and the host TCP/IP configuration. The <u> xxx.yyy.zzz</u> value in the internet address must match the <u> xxx.yyy.zzz</u> value for the internet address of the host side of the point-to-point Ethernet port.

</p>
<p>This command will install a Linux server with a Red Hat 4 distribution on non-iSCSI hardware. It will contain a 12 gb system drive and exist on resource name LIN03. The name RHEL3MAR will be associated with the network server description on the iSeries side. The language version used will be 2920.

TEXT('RedHat 4 server')
</pre>
</p>
<p>This command will install a Linux server with a SuSE 8 distribution on iSCSI hardware. It will contain a 12 gb which resides on user ASP 2. The name RHEL3MAR will be associated with the network server description on the iSeries side. The langauge version used will be 2920. The shutdown timeout will be set to 2 minutes. The system will wait 300 seconds for the connection to be made to the remote server's service processor. Unicast packet distribution will be used over iSCSI. The remote server's service processor internet address will be set to 9.5.2.32. SP authentication will be made with username JSMITH.
