Chapter 16. Steps to Get You Started
• NETMASK=netmask
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 example:
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
operating 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 integer
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.
