Installation guide

Where netmask is the netmask.
• BROADCAST=broadcast
Where broadcast is the broadcast address.
• GATEWAY=gw
Where gw is the gateway-IP for your eth device.
• MTU=mtu
Where mtu is the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) for this connection.
• DNS=server1:server2::serverN
Where server1:server2::serverN is a list of DNS servers, separated by colons. For ex-
ample:
DNS=10.0.0.1:10.0.0.2
• SEARCHDNS=domain1:domain2::domainN
Where domain1:domain2::domainN is a list of the search domains, separated by colons. For
example:
SEARCHDNS=example.com:example.org
• PORTNAME=osa_portname | lcs_portnumber
This variable supports OSA devices operating in qdio mode or non-qdio mode.
When using qdio mode: osa_portname is the portname specified on the OSA device when op-
erating in qeth mode. PORTNAME is only required for z/VM 4.3 or older without APARs
VM63308 and PQ73878.
When using non-qdio mode: lcs_portnumber is used to pass the relative port number as in-
teger in the range of 0 through 15.
• FCP_n="device_number SCSI_ID WWPN SCSI_LUN FCP_LUN"
The variables can be used on systems with FCP devices to preconfigure the FCP setup and
can be subsequently edited in anaconda during the installation. An example value may look
similar to:
FCP_1="0.0.5000 0x01 0x5105074308c212e9 0x0 4010"
• n is an integer value (e.g. FCP_1, FCP_2, ...).
• device_number is used to specify the address of the FCP device ( 0.0.5000 for device
5000, for example).
• SCSI_ID is specified in hex-value, typically sequential values (e.g. 0x01, 0x02 ... ) are used
over multiple FCP_ variables.
