Please note: All Linux and HP-UX sample commands in this section are performed as the root user (prompt = #). This may not be necessary for all commands in all environments depending on the local permission settings. The commands can be executed on the Charon host graphical console or via a non-graphical login (e.g., SSH). However, for accessing the running emulator, the use of PuTTY is strongly recommended because it works best with the emulator environment.

The Charon-PAR/PA9-32 functionality of Charon-PAR emulates historic 32-bit HP9000 hardware. This section shows a sample installation of a 32-bit guest system.

2. After the guest operating system shutdown is complete, stop the emulator :

(it is not stopped automatically after the shutdown of the guest operating system). Different methods must be used for different situations:

• The emulator was started in interactive mode (and the Charon-PAR console is available )in current terminal: Enter enter the exit command at thepa9-32>prompt and hit Enter. This will cause the emulator to close the disk images of the emulated system and to exit.Emulator started as daemon or as a service (
• The Charon-PAR console is available on a local TCP port (emulator started with -c or --console-port parameter): this situation will exist most frequently if the emulator has been started as a daemon or service. To stop the emulator access the Charon-PAR console via telnet to localhost on the port specified when starting the emulator, enter the exit command at the pa9-32> prompt, and hit Enter.
  Access to the Charon-PAR console via a TCP port is available starting with Charon-PAR version 3.0.1. The CTRL+B key combination has been disabled on the emulator console starting with this version.

• The emulator was started as a daemon or service and the Charon-PAR console is not available ): In the current version, the emulator process is not stopped automatically after the guest system has been shut down. This means it must be stopped manually via a local TCP port: This situation can occur if you run a version before 3.0.1 or you started the emulator without the -c option.
  • For versions 3.0.1 and higher: the emulator must be stopped using the kill command from the root user on the Charon host system
  . This behavior may change in future versions of the software
  • . Perform the following steps to stop the Charon-PAR process:
    
    • Find the PID (process id) of the process: # ps -ef | grep -i charon-par

    • Stop the process: # kill <charon-par-pid>
  • For versions before 3.0.1: on the emulator console, after shutting down the guest operating system, press CTRL+B. After a few seconds, a traceback may be shown. Then the PDC console prompt (Main menu:) will appear. Type exit to stop the emulator.
