Red Hat ENTERPRISE LINUX 4 - INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR IBM S-390 AND IBM ESERVER ZSERIES Installation Manual page 58

Appendix B. Sample Parameter Files
qeth: SUBCHANNELS="<read_device_bus_id>,<write_device_bus_id>,
<data_device_bus_id>"
lcs: SUBCHANNELS="<read_device_bus_id>,<write_device_bus_id>"
ctc: SUBCHANNELS="<read_device_bus_id>,<write_device_bus_id>" Due to the
length of the qeth command line, it has been broken into two lines.
For example (a sample qeth SUBCHANNEL statement):
SUBCHANNELS=0.0.0600,0.0.0601,0.0.0602
To force a specific CTC protocol, additional parameters can be added. For example:
CTCPROT=<n>
where is one of the following:
<n>
• 0 for compatibility mode (used with non-Linux peers other than S/390 and zSeries
operating systems)
• 1 for extended mode
• 2 for CTC-based tty (only supported on Linux-to-Linux connections)
• 3 for compatibility mode with S/390 and zSeries operating systems
PEERID=<userid>
Where represents the ID of the guest machines you want to connect to. Note that
<userid>
the ID must be written in capital letters. For example, an IUCV connection to a z/VM TCP/IP
service machine would be written as:
PEERID=TCPIP
The following parameters are optional:
HOSTNAME=<string>
Where is the hostname of the newly-installed Linux guest.
<string>
NETTYPE=<type>
Where must be one of the following: ctc, iucv, qeth or lcs.
<type>
IPADDR=<IP>
Where is the IP address of the new Linux guest.
<IP>
