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.

| 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:
|
| 2 | Open the configuration file in a text editor. |
or
|
| 3 | Configure the system model. | model "rp2400-1-650" |
| 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:
|
| 6 | Configure disk 1 (system disk). | Change definition of DKA0 to:
|
| 7 | Add a definition for disk 2 (ISO file) or (if it already exists) modify the definition to point to your ISO file. |
|
| 8 | Configure a tape devices. | Change definition of MKAx to:
|
| 9 | Configure a network card based on a physical host NIC. | Comment In the configuration file template, comment out the dummy interface and the tap interface configuration. Then uncomment the interface configuration options of the method 3 example in the configuration file templatephysical interface example. Change the definition of EWA0 to the interface that is assigned to the emulated system (example: eth1) and disable the offload parameters for the interface:
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:
