Does this require the installation of the IBM ODBC or OLE DB or .NET driver on the MS SQL server?


Yes, Linked servers need an OLE DB driver.

IBM provides 3 OLE DB drivers:
IBMDA400 --- Existing applications; applications that want the most
flexible OLE DB support, including support for SQL, RLA, Data Queues,
and Commands.
IBMDASQL --- SQL-only support; SQL commitment control and MTS; (Note:
IBMDA400 does not support SQL commitment control or MTS)
IBMDARLA --- RLA-only support; Forward-only cursors and block fetches
with RLA; (Note: IBMDA400 does not support forward-only cursors or
block fetches with RLA)

I've always used the IBMDASQL OLE DB driver...

But you could also use the IBM i ODBC driver and the MS OLE DB
Provider for ODBC drivers.
