<h1 class="topictitle1">INSLNXSVR command parameter descriptions</h1>
<div><p>This topic describes the command parameters associated with INSLNXSVR.</p>
<div class="section"><p><strong><u>Network server description (NWSD)</u></strong> </p>
<p></p>
<p>The
network server description is created using the values specified in this command.
This name is also used as the prefix for the system and install drives, as
well as the Point-to-Point Virtual Ethernet line description. By default,
this is the name used as the computer name of the Linux server that is installed
as well as the TCP host name for the Linux server.</p>
<p></p>
<p>This is a
required parameter. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><em>name</em></strong> </p>
<p> Specify the
name of the network server. The network server name can be up to eight characters.
The following characters are allowed in NWSD names:</p>
<p></p>
<p>• Alphabetical
characters A through Z </p>
<p>• Digits 0 through 9</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong><u>Resource
name (RSRCNAME)</u></strong></p>
<p></p>
<p>Specifies the resource name that identifies
the hardware that the network server description uses. Use the Work with Hardware
Resources (WRKHDWRSC) command with *CMN specified for the TYPE parameter to
help determine the resource name. Specify the resource name of the communications
adapter. The resource name represents the File Server IOA. </p>
<p></p>
<p>This
is a required parameter.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong><em>name</em></strong></p>
<p>Specify the
resource name. The maximum length of the resource name is 10 characters. </p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong><u>Linux
server distribution (LNXSVRDST)</u></strong></p>
<p></p>
<p>Specifies the version
of Linux server to install on this network server. At the time of writing,
the valid options are *RHEL3, *RHEL4, *SLES8 or *SLES9. This might change
as newer Linux distributions become available.</p>
<p></p>
<p>This is a required
parameter.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>character-value</strong> </p>
<p>Specify the Linux server
distribution version to install. You can use F4 while prompting the command
to see the complete list of allowed values for this parameter. </p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong><u>Linux
source directory (LNXSRCDIR)</u></strong></p>
<p></p>
<p>This parameter is only used
to install RHEL 3. This parameter is not used with RHEL 4, SLES 8 or SLES
9 because these versions install from the media located in the optical drive
of an IXA-attached xSeries server.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Specifies the directory associated
with the Linux server CD-ROM image that is used as the source for the install.
The directory name may reference an optical volume ('/QOPT/volume'), a folder
('/QDLS/folder'), or an integrated file system (IFS) directory ('/dir1/dir2').
An example of a CD-ROM volume path name would be '/QOPT/RHEL_3 I386/. </p>
<p></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></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. </p>
<p></p>
<p><strong><u>*DFT </u></strong></p>
<p>The default directory
path name to use is determined by searching the QOPT file system (/QOPT directory
in IFS). The path name for the first volume in QOPT that contains a DOSUTILS
directory with a LOADLIN.EXE file in it is used as the default.</p>
<p></p>
<div class="p"><div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Using
*DFT on a system with an optical media library is not recommended. Every volume
located in the '/QOPT' path will be searched for a valid Linux install source
and will cause each volume to be retrieved and mounted. A specific optical
volume path should be specified. </div>
</div>
<p></p>
<p><strong>path-name</strong> </p>
<p>Specify
the Linux server source directory path name to use for the install. </p>
<p></p>
<div class="p"><div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> The
specified directory must contain a DOSUTILS directory with a LOADLIN.EXE file
in it.</div>
</div>
<p></p>
<p>You can use F4 while prompting the command to see
a list of path names for optical volumes that are allowed values for this
parameter. Folder or IFS path names that are not optical volumes are also
allowed, but are not listed when using F4.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
