The installation type specifies the type of installation to perform, either full or basic.
A basic installation is available when installing on an externally attached xSeries or BladeCenter server. The early part of the installation process is controlled by the Install Windows Server (INSWNTSVR) command. The installation is completed by the ServerGuide installation process.
A full installation process is controlled by the (INSWNTSVR) command. This type of installation is optional when installing on an external xSeries server attached by an Integrated xSeries Adapter or an xSeries or BladeCenter server attached by an iSCSI host bus adapter.
