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/PA9-64 functionality of Charon-PAR emulates historic 64-bit HP9000 hardware. This section shows a sample installation of a 64-bit guest system.

HP-UX ISO Installation Medium

	Step	Command
1	Change to the directory where you store your virtual disks.	`# cd /data/Stromasys/host1/Data/Disk/`
2	Unpack an ISO file contained in a compressed tar archive into this directory (example only: the actual command will vary depending on the location and archive format of your ISO file).	`# tar -xzf /path-to-file/HPUX_11v1_Sept2005_FOE.tgz`

...

	Step	Description (configuration file settings are examples only!)
1	Create a copy of the configuration file template.	Example: `# cd /data/Stromasys/host1/` `# cp /opt/charon/cfg/rp2400.cfg host1.cfg`
2	Open the configuration file in a text editor.	`# vi host1.cfg` or `# gedit host1.cfg`
3	Configure the system model.	`model "rp2400-1-650" Configured model must be covered by your license.`
4	Configure the RAM for the emulated system.	`memory 2G`
5	Configure the serial console for telnet via PuTTY.	Use the method 2 section in the configuration file and make sure the definition of the serial.uart0.device is: `serial.uart0.device.command="putty -load PAR-Telnet-VT100"`
6	Configure disk 1 (system disk).	Change definition of DKA0 to: `DKA0.image="/data/Stromasys/host1/Data/Disk/ldev1-v11.dsk"`
7	Add a definition for disk 2 (ISO file) or (if it already exists) modify the definition to point to your ISO file.	`load DKA100` `DKA100.image="``/data/Stromasys/host1/Data/Disk/HP-UX_11v1_Sept2005_FOE.iso``"`
8	Configure a tape devices.	Change definition of MKAx to: `MKA600.image="/data/Stromasys/host1/Data/Tape/ldev7.img"` `MKA500.image="/opt/Stromasys/host1/Data/Tape/ldev8.img"`
9	Configure a network card.	Comment out the dummy interface configuration. Then uncomment the interface configuration options of the method 3 example in the configuration file template. Change definition of EWA0 to the interface that is assigned to the emulated system (example: eth1) and disable the offload parameters for the interface: `EWA0.mapping_mode="RAW"` `EWA0.iface="eth1"` `EWA0.initialize_command="ethtool -K $IFACE rx off ; ethtool -K $IFACE tx off ; ethtool -K $IFACE sg off ; ethtool -K $IFACE gso off ; ethtool -K $IFACE gro off ; ethtool -K $IFACE txvlan off ; ethtool -K $IFACE rxvlan off"` Depending on the capabilities of the Ethernet device, not all off-load parameters maybe be available. This will create a warning message. The variable IFACE is set by the system before executing the initialize command.
10	Save the configuration file.

Starting the Emulated Charon-PAR/PA9-64 System and Installing the Guest System

This section shows how to start the emulator and install a HP-UX system.

Please note: The examples in this section assume that a graphical interface is used, on which a PuTTY session can be run. Should this not be possible, you can access the console of the emulated system by using, for example, a telnet client and pointing it to the TCP port on the Charon host defined for the serial console port in the configuration file. The default port is 30000 (sample command: $ telnet <charon-host> 30000).

Starting the Emulator

To start the emulated Charon-PAR/PA9-64 system, perform the following steps:

...

Booting from the Installation ISO File

In green PuTTY console window perform the following steps to boot the installation ISO file:

Press the Enter key.
This should produce the prompt Main Menu: Enter command or menu >.
Enter the command boot 0/0/1/0.1.0 to boot from the ISO and confirm by pressing the Enter key.
At the prompt Interact with IPL (Y or N)?> answer N. At The system will continue to boot.
At the next prompt, select VT100 as the terminal (option 2).

HP-UX Installation Phase 1: Pre-installation Dialogs

At the screen following the terminal selection you can select to install HP-UX as shown in the following image:

Check if all configured devices were found as expected. If something is missing, check your configuration file.
For a basic test installation use the default choices in this and the other initial configuration menus. You can type the underlined character to select a choice. Sometimes you will have to confirm the selection by pressing the Enter key, sometimes the selection will also activate the choice.
Continue with Install HP-UX.

The following table provides an overview of the information that will be collected.
Please note: the number and content of screens may vary depending on your selections.

Information requested	Illustration
Select the type of installation and media. Continue with OK. In this basic example, an installation from local media is selected. Alternatively, you can choose to enable the network and use software depots for additional software to be installed, or you can use an Ignite installation server. For these advanced options, please refer to the HP-UX documentation.
Select if you want to install from the media or recover the system. Continue with OK.
Select the basic system configuration. Continue with Next.
Select the operating system environment. Continue with Next.
Select the root disk. Continue with Next.
Configure the swap space size. Continue with Next.
Select the filesystem type for the root disk. Continue with Next.
If you selected LVM in the step above, configure the number of disks included in the root volume group. Continue with Next (use the TAB key to get to the options at the bottom of the screen).
Configure your language setting. Continue with Next.
Select additional software to install, if required. Continue with Next.
Confirm the selection of the target disk for installation. It lets you check that the correct disks have been selected to be overwritten. If the correct disk is displayed, continue with Next. Otherwise, go back and correct your configuration.
If disks to be overwritten contain an operating system, you may be asked for an explicit confirmation. If it is OK to overwrite the disk, continue with Next. Otherwise, go back and correct your configuration.
