I'm following in the IBM Redbook "The Virtualization Cookbook for IBM z Systems 
Volume 2: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1 Servers", and I'm at step 6:


6. Edit the GENERIC PRM file by adding the correct parameters and system 
information as shown in the following example:
==> xedit GENERIC PRM a
ro ramdisk_size=40000 cio_ignore=all,!condev
ip=9.12.7.96::9.12.4.1:20:vmlnx2-1.itso.ibm.com:enccw0.0.0600:none
rd.znet=qeth,0.0.0600,0.0.0601,0.0.0602,layer2=1
nameserver=9.12.6.7 nameserver=9.12.6.6
inst.repo=ftp://lydiap:[email protected]//home/lydiap/linux/rhel71
rd.dasd=0.0.0100 rd.dasd=0.0.0200
vnc vncpassword=12345678

Where do I find out what the various operands are for each keyword (especially 
the ip=)?   I'm assuming the ip= is:

1)      Server being installed IP address

2)      Unknown

3)      Gateway

4)      hostname

5)      OSA address

6)      Unknown (none)

I think I have everything else.

inst.repo=protocol://password:userid@hostname//directory/to/images
