Now let's execute CHARON using this template configuration file:

$ mv3k6 my_mv3k6.cfg

You will see normal VAX test sequence, followed by prompt sign (">>>"):

Installation and start of CHARON-VAX service

 

  1. Copy the sample script "/opt/charon/bin/charon" ( "/opt/charon/bin/charon.service" for Fedora Core Linux ) to your home directory, for example:

    Red Hat LinuxFedora Core
    $ cp /opt/charon/bin/charon /my_services/mv3k6_service
    $ chmod 755 /my_services/mv3k6_service
    $ cp /opt/charon/bin/charon.service /my_services/mv3k6.service
    $ chmod 755 /my_services/mv3k6.service

             

  2. Edit the renamed file to replace sample values of the following parameters, for example:

    Red Hat LinuxFedora Core
    exec="/opt/charon/bin/mv3k6"
    prog="my_mv3k6"
    config="/my_services/mv3k6-service.cfg"
    ExecStart=/opt/charon/bin/mv3k6 -d /my_services/mv3k6-service.cfg
    WorkingDirectory=/my_services

              

  3. Create and edit configuration file ( "/my_services/mv3k6-service.cfg" in the examples above ) the way it was described before and make sure that the following pre-requisites are met:

    • OPA0 must be configured as virtual port or physical console, not as operator console, for example:

      load virtual_serial_line OPA0 port=10003
      #load operator_console OPA0

    • Use only absolute paths to log, toy clock, nvram files and all the other data such as disk images etc. The names of the references files must be unique too, for example

      ...

      set session log="/my_services/my_mv3k6.log"
      set toy container="/my_services/my_mv3k6.dat"

      load RQDX3/RQDX3 DUA
      set DUA container[0]="/my_services/mv3k6_daemon_boot_disk.vdisk"
      ...

    • Make sure the same physical devices are not used by other CHARON-VAX daemons

...

Warning

Note that a certain delay may appear in finding network license by Sentinel Run-time on CHARON-VAX host system startup. So if CHARON-VAX service is starting automatically on host system startup it may report "License not found" error and exit.

This problem can be avoided by specifying "license_key_lookup_retry" parameter in the following way:

set session license_key_lookup_retry = "N [, T]"

where:

  • N - Number of retries looking for license key (or keys)
  • T - Time between retries in seconds. If not specified 60 seconds is used

Example:

set session license_key_lookup_retry = 5

In this example if license key is not found during initial scan, CHARON-VAX will do 5 more attempts waiting 60 seconds between them.

See General Settings section for more details.
