The values for the HOST statement depends on the type of your network interface.
The following types are supported:
LCS
OSA (in either QDIO, LCS, or Token Ring Mode)
CTC/ESCON
CLAW
HiperSocket
IUCV
Note that with LCS devices, things get a little confusing. You will want to
specify CHANDEV=lcs0, but you will still need to specify eth0 on the HOST=
parameter. This is due to the differences between the way the chandev layer
looks at things, and the way the TCP/IP layer sees them.
You MUST specify a CHANDEV= parameter if your are using a CTC, ESCON, OSA (QDIO
or Token Ring), HiperSocket or LCS network interface. If you do not, you will
be prompted for it during installation. Refer to the "Device Drivers and
Installation Commands" manual from IBM for what you specify here.
http://www10.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linux390/docu/lx24jun03dd04.pdf
You MUST specify a CLAW= parameter if you are using a CLAW/CIP network interface.
If you do not, you will be prompted for it during installation.
It is strongly recommended that you specify QETHPARM= for OSA and HiperSocket
network interfaces. The values you specify here will also come from the "Device
Drivers and Installation Commands" manual.
Note that there is some duplication of function. For CTC and IUCV connections,
you can specify the IP address of the default gateway on both the HOST= and
NETWORK= parameters. If a value is specified on the NETWORK= parameter, it takes
precedence over that specified on the HOST= parameter. This will (hopefully) be
changed in future releases.

gateway: IP address of the default gateway
mtu: maximum transfer units (optional)
NETWORK=network:netmask:broadcast [:gw ]
network: the network address of your subnet. (Your IP address logically
ANDed with the network mask.)
netmask: the network mask for your subnet
broadcast: the broadcast address for your subnet
gw: IP address of the default gateway (only for CTC and IUCV devices)
LCS=base,type
base: base device number of the LCS interface
type: 1 for an OSA-2 in LCS mode
2 for an OSA-Express in QDIO/QETH mode
e.g. LCS=0xfc20,1 for an OSA-2 in LCS mode at 0xfc20
or LCS=0x0f000,2 for an OSA-Express in QDIO/QETH mode at 0x0f000
CLAW=lappl0:lhost0:uappl0:uhost0
lappl0: defines the local application name and must match the claw directive
"host-app" field (third string). The default value is "TCPIP".
lhost0: defines the local host name and must match the claw directive
"host-name" field (first string). The default value is "UTS".
uappl0: defines the unit application name and must match the claw directive
"device-app" field (fourth string). The default value is "TCPIP".
uhost0: defines the unit's name and must match the claw directive
"device-name" field (second string). The default value is "C7011".
CHANDEV=noauto;ctc0,readdev,writedev[,mem][,protocol][,checksum] (for CTCs)
readdev: the device number thatis the read channel
writedev: the device number that is the write channel
mem: number of kilobytes to use for buffers
protocol: 3 if connecting to z/OS
0 is usually good for any other operating system
checksum: 1 to calculate checksums for received IP packets, 0 to disable
CHANDEV=noauto;lcs0,readdev,writedev[,mem][,portno][,checksum][,hwstats] (for LCS)
readdev: the device number thatis the read channel
writedev: the device number that is the write channel
mem: number of kilobytes to use for buffers
portno: 0 to use relative port number 0, 1 to use port 1
checksum: 1 to calculate checksums for received IP packets, 0 to disable
hwstats: 1 to collect network statistics from the hardware, 0 to disable
CHANDEV=noauto;qeth0,readdev,writedev,datadev[,mem][,portno][,checksum]
(for OSA (QDIO and Token Ring) and HiperSockets)
readdev: the device number that is the read channel. This must be an even number.
writedev: the device number that is the write channel. This number must be readdev+1.
datadev: the device number that is the data channel. This number can be
even or odd, and need not be in sequence with the read and write channels.
mem: number of kilobytes to use for buffers
portno: 0 to use relative port number 0, 1 to use port 1. The OSA-Express
in QDIO mode uses only port 0, which is the default.
checksum: 1 to calculate checksums for received IP packets, 0 to disable
QETHPARM=add_parms,chantype,lodevno,highdevno[,string]
add_parms: the literal character string add_parms
chantype: for CTC 0x01
for ESCON 0x02
for LCS 0x04
for QETH 0x10
lodevno: the low device number allocated to the device
highdevno: the high device number allocated to the device

an OSA portname, primary or secondary router, etc.
DASD=xxx-yyy
Range of device numbers of your DASD devices. If you only have one,
specify DASD=xxx
DNS=list:of:dns:servers
the list of DNS servers,separated by colons
e.g. DNS=10.0.0.1:10.0.0.2
will use the DNS servers 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2
SEARCHDNS=list:of:search:domains
the list of the search domains,separated by colons
e.g. SEARCHDNS=slack390.org:slack390.com
DEBUG=<value>
if set to any value you will get a shell during installation to debug if
you encounter problems.
