The Install Integrated Server (INSINTSVR) command installs the integrated server Operating System.
Integrated server installation occurs in two steps. During the first step, the INSINTSVR command creates necessary objects to manage the server. This includes a network server description, message queue, line descriptions, storage spaces and TCP/IP interfaces. Once completed, the integrated server is varied on to continue with the integrated server operating system install.
Further integrated server installation is performed using the integrated server console and the normal Operating system install process.
When the Install Integrated Server (INSINTSVR) completes normally, the integrated server is left in a varied on state.

Specifies the name of the network server to be installed. The network server description is created using the values specified in this command. The Create Network Server Description (CRTNWSD) command will be used to create the NWSD. The name should also be used as the computer name of the integrated server that is installed as well as the TCP host name for the integrated server.
This is a required parameter.
The network server name can be up to eight characters. The following characters are allowed in NWSD names:
| Top |
Specifies the integrated server operating system version to install on the integrated server.
Prompting (F4) on this field provides a list of values supported for this parameter on this system.
Supported operating system version values include:
| Top |
Specifies the remote system network server configuration to use with this server.
| Top |
Specifies the storage path the storage spaces can use.
Element 1: Network server host adapter
Prompting (F4) on this field provides a list of values supported for this parameter on this system.
| Top |
Specifies the shared data storage pool this integrated server should use.
Prompting (F4) on this field provides a list of values supported for this parameter on this system.
| Top |
Specifies the size (in megabytes) of the storage spaces.
Note: This parameter is ignored when an VMware ESXi Embedded server (*ESXIExx) is specified for the Operating system type (OSTYPE) parameter.
Element 1: System size
Specifies the size in megabytes of the storage space that the integrated server operating system is installed on.
| Top |
Specifies the auxiliary storage pool (ASP) identifiers for the network server storage spaces.
Note: This parameter is ignored when an VMware ESXi Embedded server (*ESXIExx) is specified for the Operating system type (OSTYPE) parameter.
Element 1: System ASP
Specifies the auxiliary storage pool for the storage space that holds the integrated server operating system.
Note: You cannot specify both a SVRSTGASP and STGASPDEV parameter value for the same element.
Prompting (F4) on this field provides a list of values supported for this parameter on this system.
| Top |
Specifies the auxiliary storage pool (ASP) device names for the network server storage spaces.
The ASP must have been activated (by varying on the ASP device) and have a status of 'Available'.
Note: This parameter is ignored when an VMware ESXi Embedded server (*ESXIExx) is specified for the Operating system type (OSTYPE) parameter.
Element 1: System ASP device
Specifies the independent auxiliary storage pool device name for the storage space that holds the integrated server operating system.
Note: You cannot specify both a SVRSTGASP and STGASPDEV parameter value for the same element.
Prompting (F4) on this field provides a list of values supported for this parameter on this system.
| Top |
Specifies text that briefly describes the network server configuration.
| Top |
Specifies the installed language environment used to display Integrated Server Support text and messages. Note that a smaller set of languages are available for messages displayed during installation than for messages displayed after installation.
Prompting (F4) on this field provides a list of values supported for this parameter on this system.
| Top |
Specifies the tape and optical device resource names that are restricted and cannot be used by the integrated server.
Single values
If OSTYPE(*WIN2008) is specified, *NONE is configured so that no tape and optical device resources are restricted from the integrated server.
For all other types, *ALL is configured so that all tape and optical device resources are restricted from being used by the integrated server.
Other values (up to 10 repetitions)
Note: Each value can only be specified once.
Prompting (F4) on this field provides a list of values supported for this parameter on this system.
| Top |
Specifies the TCP/IP configuration for the virtual point-to-point Ethernet port.
Note: 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.
Single values
If OSTYPE(*WIN2008) is specified, *GEN is configured to let the system configure a virtual point-to-point Ethernet port with a generated internet address.
For all other types, *NONE is configured so that no virtual point-to-point Ethernet port is configured.
Note: This value is not valid when OSTYPE(*WIN2008) is specified.
Element 1: Internet address
Specifies the internet address for the IBM i side of the virtual point-to-point Ethernet connection.
The value is specified in the form nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn , where nnn is a decimal number ranging from 0 through 255.
Note: The internet address selected must be unique across all network server descriptions and the IBM i TCP/IP configuration.
Element 2: Integrated IP address
Specifies the internet address for the integrated server side of the virtual point-to-point Ethernet connection.
The value is specified in the form nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn , where nnn is a decimal number ranging from 0 through 255.
Note: The internet address selected must be unique across all network server descriptions and the IBM i TCP/IP configuration.
