I hope this actually is the Integrated xSeries Server (IXS) adapter. If so, please study this 500-page redbook: Consolidating Windows 2000 Servers in iSeries: An Implementation Guide for the IBM Integrated xSeries Server for iSeries.

anyone have any idea what this error means:

Resource name LIN02 not valid for reason code 7, secondary code 1.
from the
INSWNTSVR
command

[datapath]

What are the reasons in the second level of that message?

i ran the INSWNTSVR command and entered all the info as stated in the ibm red book i did read (did it step by step)

and all it states is
Resource name LIN02 not valid for reason code 7, secondary code 1.
INSWNTSVR command canceled.
Windows Server installation not successful

all the DSPJOBLOG shows is what is above
then

i did read another redbook (iSeries - Windows environement on iSeries) and followed it step by step

the card i have, as shown above, is a 2850-011
Resource name . . . . . . . : LIN02
Text . . . . . . . . . . . . : File Server IOA
Type-model . . . . . . . . . : 2850-011
Serial number . . . . . . . : 10-9025032
Part number . . . . . . . . : 0000061H0127

it is 1 of 2 cards installed - thogether they have its own ram, cpu, vga connector, keyboard, mouse connector

When you see this error message >>> Resource name LIN02 not valid for reason code 7, secondary code 1 <<< in your 5250 screen, move the screen cursor to the message line and press F1 to see detailed message information and read what the reason code 7 means. Also notice the messge ID and use it for a Google search for more information.

Thank you - i completly forgot you can do that
turns out i need more RAM on my xServer card - time to start hunting
(i had x2 32mb and x2 64mb - and when i put them on my ram tester - only one of the 32mb sticks was good - supprised the card showed as operational

thanks again
error code 7 = invalid RAM configuration for the version of windows you are attempting to install



thanks for your help
