IBM CID Code Server Installation

It contains instructions for installing the TokenExpress™ adapter drive and information specific to the installation and operation of Intel's TokenExpress adapters only. Refer to the appropriate Network Operation System documentation for any NOS-specific questions or other information.

These instructions apply to Release 5.0 of the software.

Installing and Configuring the Intel TokenExpress Adapter Driver on IBM OS/2 CID - Code Server Installation.

It describes how to install the Intel TokenExpress Adapter NDIS 2.0 drivers on a Code Server.

Read this document and the IBM documentation before starting the actual installation. This document does not describe how to install the actual Code Server. Refer to the following IBM documentation to install and configure the Code Server:

  • Automated Installation for CID Enabled OS/2 v2.x

  • Communications Manager/2 Version 1.0 New Features

  • Automated Installation for CID Enabled Extended Services, LAN Server V3.0 and Network Transport Services/2
Symptom
The Redirected Installation and Configuration of a workstation consists of several steps. The steps listed below should be given special attention when using Intel TokenExpress Network Adapters in client workstations:

  1. Installing LAPS on the Code Server.

  2. Making the Client Installation diskettes.

  3. Making Response files for the client workstation.

  4. Using LANfocus Start/2 version 1.0 with Intel TokenExpress adapters

The four steps are described in some detail below:

  1. Installing LAPS on the Code Server.

    You can install LAPS on the Code Server manually or you can use the CASSETUP utility.

    CASSETUP is an IBM supplied utility the can assist you in initializing the CID Code Server and creating bootable diskettes with Network Transport Services for various network adapter cards, including the Intel TokenExpress Network Adapters. CASSETUP can be found in the \CID\APPLETS directory on the NTS/2 Utilities diskette.

    Whether you use the manual or the CASSETUP method, you should follow the next instructions to add your Intel MAC driver(s) to the list of useable adapters on client workstations.

    If you are about to install the LAPS product on your Code Server, you should follow the guidelines listed below:

    Make a backup diskette of your "IBM Network Transport Services/2 LAN Adapter and Protocol Support" (LAPS) diskette.

    DISKCOPY A: A:
    Make a temporary directory on your harddisk and copy the Intel TokenExpress Network MAC drivers to this directory. Insert your Adapter Driver Diskette #2 into drive A:

    XCOPY A:\IBM\NDIS.OS2\*.* C:\LAPSTEMP\
    Note: If you have other Adapter Driver Diskettes with Intel Network MAC Drivers, this would be a good time to copy them to the \LAPSTEMP directory as well.

    Insert your LAPS backup diskette into drive A: and add the MAC drivers to the diskette:

    PKZIP2 A:\IBMCOM\MACS\MACS.ZIP C:\LAPSTEMP\*.*
    Delete the temporary directory on your hard disk:

    DEL c:\LAPSTEMP\*.* RD c:\LAPSTEMP
    You now have a LAPS backup diskette with Intel TokenExpress Network MAC drivers as well as MAC drivers from other vendors like IBM. By using the LAPS backup diskette during the CID installation, you will be able to Configure Remote Installed Workstations with Intel TokenExpress Networks adapters.

    If the LAPS application is already installed on the Code Server, you can add the Intel TokenExpress Network Adapter MAC drivers to the existing list of MAC drivers. Assuming that the LAPS application is located in the C:\CID\IMG\LAPS directory on the Code Server and the Adapter Driver Diskette is placed in drive A:, the following command will add the MAC driver:

    PKZIP2 C:\CID\IMG\LAPS\IBMCOM\MACS\MACS.ZIP A:\NDIS\OS2\*.*

    Note: If you have other Adapter Driver Diskettes with Intel Network MAC Drivers this would be a good time to add them to the C:\CID\IMG\LAPS\IBMCOM\MACS\MACS.ZIP file as well.

  2. Making the Client Installation Diskettes.

    At this point, installation of the Code Server should be completed with the installation of LAPS.

    It is recommended that you use the CASSETUP utility to make the installation diskettes (CASSETUP requires that you use the d:\CID\IMG\LAPS ... directory structure). You can however create the seed LAN Transport system with the THINLAPS utility.

    1. Making the Client Installation Diskettes with CASSETUP.

      Making the client installation diskettes for a client workstation with an Intel TokenExpress Network adapter using CASSETUP:

      Run the CASSETUP utility from your hard disk or the NTS/2 Utilities diskette following these guidelines.

      • Select the 'Select' option

      • Choose 'Create Client Diskettes..'

      • Choose the target drive for the boot diskettes for clients.

      • In the 'Specify Client Information' dialog box, specify the LAN adapter as 'Intel TokenExpress Network Server Adapter'. You do not need to give the path for a Client LAN configuration file (PROTOCOL.INI).

      • Leave the 'Adapter Number' at 0 (Zero) and Select OK.

      Note: If the 'Intel TokenExpress Network Server adapter' does not appear in the list, it is probably because the MACS.ZIP files haven't been updated with the Intel MAC drivers.

      • In the 'Client identification' dialog box, select the option that suits your needs and select OK.

      • In the 'Installation Command File' dialog box, you can select to use the default installation command file when the client is unknown to the Code Server, or not.

        The default installation command file (\CID\CLIENT\DEFAULT.CMD) will use the file \CID\RSP\LAPS\LAPSRSP.RSP to configure LAPS on the client workstation during the remote installation. The use of the default installation command file requires that you change the LAPSRSP.RSP file to use the Intel TokenExpress MAC driver instead of the default MAC driver. The file \NDIS\OS2\LAPSRSP.RSP on the Adapter driver diskette contains a response file for Intel TokenExpress Server Adapters.

      • Insert the client diskettes into drive A: as prompted to complete the process of making client diskettes for the client workstation.

        The process of making client workstation diskettes for a workstation with an Intel TokenExpress Network adapter is complete.

    2. Making the Client Installation Diskettes manually.

      Making the client installation diskettes for a client workstation with an Intel TokenExpress Network adapter manually consists of several steps, only the THINLAPS step is Network adapter dependent.

      Use the SEDISK utility to make the diskettes, example:

      SEDISK /S:C:\CID\IMG\OS2V20 /T:A:

      Use the THINLAPS utility to transfer network drivers to the second client workstation diskette, example:

      THINLAPS C:\CID\IMG\LAPS A:\ INTEL16.NIF

      Note: If THINLAPS returns an error saying that it didn't complete, it is probably because the MACS.ZIP file hasn't been updated with the Intel MAC drivers.

      Use the THINIFS utility to install the LCU Redirector to the second client workstation diskette. Example:

      THINIFS /S:C:\CID\IMG\SRVIFS /T:A:\ /SRV:codeserv /REQ:*p /D:X and the second invocation: THINIFS /S:C:\CID\IMG\SRVIFS /T:A:\ /SRV:\\codeserv\LOG /REQ:*p /D:L
      Use the CASINSTL utility to create startup.cmd and update the config.sys on the second client workstation diskette, example:

      CASINSTL /TU:A: /CMD:X:\client /D /PL:X:;X:\IMG\LCU

      /L1:L:\LCU\LOG1.LOG /PA:X:\IMG\LCU /0

      The process of making client workstation diskettes for a workstation with an Intel TokenExpress Network adapter is complete.

      Note: If the clients workstation Intel TokenExpress Network adapter's IO-address is different from the default value, you must modify the PROTOCOL.INI file on the client workstation diskette to meet the IO-address setting. Refer to the section describing the OS/2 NDIS drivers parameters in the Adapter Guide To Operations for setting of the 'Adapter=' parameter.

    3. Making Response files for the client workstation.

      This section describes how to make response files for LAPS when using the Intel TokenExpress Network adapter on a client workstation when the Code Server is installed with the CASSETUP utility.

      During the remote installation of the client workstation, the LCU REXX command file (f.x. \CID\CLIENT\DEFAULT.CMD) will, among other response files, use a response for the LAPS installation. It looks for the response file in the \CID\RSP\LAPS directory structure (on the Code Server) for a file with its own client name plus the '.RSP' extension. If it doesn't find the file, it will normally look for the file LAPSRSP.RSP and use this as the response file for the LAPS installation.

      The file \IBM\NDIS.OS2\LAPSRSP.RSP on the Adapter driver diskette contains a suggestion for a response file for an Intel TokenExpress Server adapter with DLC and NetBeui protocols.

      You can copy this file to the Code Server and use it as the default response file for LAPS, but you should make a backup of the original file:

      COPY C:\CID\RSP\LAPS\LAPSRSP.RSP C:\CID\RSP\LAPS\LAPSRSP.001

      COPY A:\IBM\NDIS.OS2\LAPSRSP.RSP C:\CID\RSP\LAPS

      If you want to use the response file for specific client workstations, you should copy it to the client name, f.x.:

      COPY A:\IBM\NDIS.OS2\LAPSRSP.RSP C:\CID\RSP\LAPS\CLIENT01.RSP

      You can make your own response files from an existing PROTOCOL.INI file with the IBM utility LAPSRSP.EXE (you can use the LAPS product to generate the PROTOCOL.INI file or you can create it with a text editor).

      Example of making a response file to the client workstation named 'INTEL164' from an existing PROTOCOL.INI file:

      LAPSRSP C:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL.INI INTEL164.RSP /I:PRODUCT /U:NEW

      Note: You should delete any PROTOCOL.INI files in the Code Server's image of the LAPS product (\CID\IMG\LAPS and \CID\IMG\LAPS\IBMCOM directories) as it can result in invalid configurations on the client workstations.

    4. Using LANfocus Start/2 version 1.0 with Intel TokenExpress adapters The LANfocus Start/2 version 1.0 does NOT give direct support for other Network adapters than those pre-defined in the product. You can however use the product to define your nodes and then later change the node configuration to match the your Intel TokenExpress Network Adapter.

      The following is an example of a node defined as having an IBM Token Ring 16/4 /A adapter in the LANfocus Start/2 node setting and then later changed to its actual network adapter: a Intel TokenExpress Network Server Adapter.

      • Run the LANfocus Start/2 application and define a node in a topology. In this example the topology is called NET1 and the node is called NODE0001.

      • The settings for the node consists of the following topics: General, Adapter, LAN, 3270, Database and files. Make the selection that suits the actual node in all but the Adapter settings.

      The Adapter setting should be set in the following way:

      • Page 1 of 4: Leave DFT Adapter and SDLC Adapter check boxes un-selected.

      • Page 2 of 4: Select the 'IBM Token Ring 16/4 /A' Adapter and the appropriate speed. Check the Token-ring format button and assign the address and C&SM LAN ID that suits your needs.

      • Page 3 of 4: This page is Ethernet specific so nothing can be selected

      • Page 4 of 4: Select the 802.2 and NETBIOS resources that the node requires.

      • Select OK

      Generate the LCU REXX command and response files in the LCU transformer.

      Note: The Settings for the LCU Transformer should have the 'Regenerate files' button selected.

      When the NODE0001 has beensuccessfullyy transformed, you should select the following in the LCU Transformer:

      Successes: 'NODE0001'

      Directory mapping: <Your current mapping>

      File type: 'Response files'

      Products: 'LAPS'

      Files: 'NODE0001.RSP'

      Make the 'Selected' selection and choose 'Open as a file'. The LAPS response file for NODE0001 will be loaded into the OS/2 editor. Change alloccurrencess of 'IBMTOK' with 'INTEL32', and change the PROT_SECTION with the SECTION_NAME = IBMTOK_NIF with the following PROT_SECTION:

      PROT_SECTION = ( NIF = OCTOK32.NIF SECTION_NAME = INTEL32_NIF MaxTransmits = 80 NetAddress = ... , insert desired the NetAddress. )

      Save the NODE0001.RSP file, and you are ready to perform Remote installation on the NODE0001 client workstation.

      If you have a standard LAPS response file that you want to use for a number of client workstations, you can choose the "change the LCU REXX" command file instead of the LAPS response file. Example:

      Copy the default LAPS response files supplied on the Adapter Driver Diskette to the directory for response files for NET1. f.x.:

      COPY A:\NDIS\OS2\LAPSRSP.RSP C:\RSP\LAPS\OCURSP\NET1\INTEL164.RSP

      Load the LCU REXX command file for NODE0001 into a text editor.

      Example:

      e C:\CID\CLIENT\NET1\NODE0001.CMD

      Search for the LAPS section, andsubstitutee the line:

      '/r:' || srvattach || '\RSP\LAPS\OCURSP\NET1\NODE0001.RSP'

      with this line: '/r:' || srvattach || '\RSP\LAPS\OCURSP\NET1\INTEL164.RSP'

      If you use the same LAPS response file for more than one client workstation, you must ensure that the response file does NOT use a locally administered address (the 'NetAddress = ' parameter).

      Note: If you use the RSP or LCU Transformers to regenerate the LCU REXX command and response files for NODE0001, you will have to do the modificationss of NODE0001.RSP or/and NODE0001.CMD files again.

This applies to:
TokenExpress™ 16/p Adapter
TokenExpress™ EISA 16/4 Adapter
TokenExpress™ EISA 32 Adapter
TokenExpress™ MCA Adapter
