  • Upgrading to this Charon-PAR from an older version requires a license update. Please contact your VAR or Stromasys representative to plan the update.
  • Charon-PAR version 3.0 and higher is incompatible with licenses of earlier versions. Earlier product versions are incompatible with licenses for Charon-PAR 3.0 and higher. Charon-PAR/PA3 licenses for version 3.0 are not backward compatible for emulators running with version 2.x.

Please note: The Charon-PAR version 3.0 and higher emulator kits contain the haspvlib library and the hasp_srm_view and hasp_update utilities. This means that there may be installation conflicts with other Charon emulator products on the same host systems. Such conflicts can be overcome either by not installing the conflicting modules of the other products (if possible), or by forcing the installation of the Charon-PAR kit. Please refer to the documentation of your host system (man rpm) in such cases and ensure that this will not negatively influence any other installed products.

Charon-PAR Software Packages Overview

...

  • For the installation of a Charon-PAR/PA3 emulated system, a preinstalled MPE/iX 7.5 disk image (mpe75a.dsk.bz2) is required. This will be provided by Stromasys.
  • For the installation of a Charon-PAR/PA9 emulated system, a HP-UX ISO is required. 
  • Additional packages may be required to be installed on the host operating system. They will be discussed in the sections where they are relevant.
  • If additionally required packages are not available in the standard repositories of the host operating system, additional repositories can be installed using, for example, the EPEL repository (more information: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL).

Post-Installation Tasks

Install PuTTY

A recommended post-installation task is the installation of PuTTY to connect to the emulated console. The associated package is part of the EPEL repository. 

PuTTY installation steps CentOS/Red Hat 7.x:


StepCommand
1Log in as the privileged user on the system ("root").
2If the additional repository has not yet been installed, install it. The rpm package to install the EPEL repository is included in the extras repository of Red Hat and CentOS.

Older Red Hat / CentOS 7 versions:

yum --enablerepo=extras install epel-release

Current Red Hat and CentOS versions (version 7 example):

# yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

Additionally recommended on Red Hat 7 (as EPEL packages may depend on the extras repositories:

# subscription-manager repos --enable "rhel-*-optional-rpms" --enable "rhel-*-extras-rpms" --enable "rhel-ha-for-rhel-*-server-rpms"

Up-to-date information can be found on the following page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL

3Install PuTTY.yum install putty
4

If you used PuTTY before, you will have a .putty or .config/putty directory under your home directory already.

If the PuTTY configuration directory does not already exist, create the .config/putty directory in the home directory of the root user.

Start PuTTY: # putty

Select and load the default settings.

Click on Save.

Exit PuTTY.

5Copy the Charon-PAR profiles to the PuTTY sessions directory of the root user (depending on where you stored you session data).

cp /opt/charon/cfg/PAR* /root/.putty/sessions

or

# cp /opt/charon/cfg/PAR* /root/.config/putty/sessions
