Info

This is not the case when upgrading Charon-AXP and Charon-VAX starting with version 4.8 (so examples: upgrades from 4.8 to 4.9, 4.8 to 4.10 or 4.9 to 4.10, etc...). In this case console parameters are kept.

...

(warning) Note that Charon-AXP has its own specific console, so not all the parameters and commands available on physical Alphas are applicable to Charon.
