First, the variable assignment should be:

Code:
HOST1=pwrm16  ## No $ and no spaces around =


Second, you don't need sed; use parameter expansion. For example:

Code:
var1=${i#*: ] ## the contents of the variable after the first ': '
var2=${i%%:*} ## The contents of the variable before the first colon
