| Utility | Description |
|---|---|
| mkdskcmd | Used to create CHARON virtual disk containers of custom or standard types. This utility also may be used to transfer virtual disks of one type to virtual disks of another type. |
| hasp_srm_view | Used to display the CHARON license contents, to collect the host system fingerprint and to transfer software licenses from one host to another. |
| hasp_update | Sentinel standard utility used to retrieve Sentinel protection key information, detach a license from a Sentinel SL key and rehost a license from a Sentinel SL key |
| ncu | Used to dedicate a host interface to CHARON-AXP, to release it back to the host and to manage CHARON virtual interfaces (TAPs). |
| mtd | Used to create CHARON tape images from physical tapes and to write tape images back to physical tapes. |
All these utilities are invoked from Linux console command line.
...
$ mkdskcmd --disk rz22 --output rz22.vdisk |
A disk container "rz22.vdisk" will be created in the current directory.
| Info |
|---|
A file "rz22.avdisk" will also be created. This file helps CHARON accurately recognize a specific disk image type. It is recommended to put the ".avdisk" file in the same directory as the created disk image. |
...
| Info |
|---|
If a source disk image is larger than the target disk image, the extra data is lost. If the source disk image is smaller, it will be extended and padded with null bytes ('\0'). |
An example of the syntax follows:
$ mkdskcmd --transfer <source disk file name> <source disk parameters> [--shrink] [-k] |
...
<source disk file name> - a file name of the disk image to be transferred
<source disk parameters> - the name of the disk from the list provided by the "mkdskcmd --list" command execution or the disk geometry specification (see below).
- --shrink or -k - used in the case where the target disk is transferred to a smaller disk.
Example:
$ mkdskcmd --transfer /etc/rz22.vdisk rz25 |
...
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
-l <file name> | Creates an execution log “file name”. |
-r <number> | Specifies a number of attempts to read a damaged data bock |
-i | Directs to ignore bad blocks and continue processing without interruption. It implies "-r 0" |
-n | Do not rewind tape |
-p | Disable progress reporting |
-v | Enable verbose trace of data transfer (implies "-p") |
Example:
$ mtd -l tape1.txt -r 10 /dev/st5 /charon/tapes/tape1.vtape |
Use the following syntax to write the content of a tape container to a physical tape:
$ mtd <tape container name> <tape device name> |
...
- "-l" (or without parameters) - CHARON default license details
- "-all" - all available CHARON licenses details
- "-key <key number>" - specific CHARON license (defined by its "key number") details
The "hasp_srm_view" utility provides the following functionality:
- Display the CHARON-AXP licenses details. It is possible to view all available license or some specific one.
- Collecting license status information
- Collecting host fingerprint information
...
Remote collection of status information
For remote collection of status information it is recommended to use "ssh" as shown in the following examples:
# ssh root@CHARON_HOST /opt/charon/bin/hasp_srm_view -c2v /opt/charon/bin/my_hasp_key.c2v# ssh root@CHARON_HOST /opt/charon/bin/hasp_srm_view -fgp /opt/charon/bin/my_host_fingerprint.c2v |
To see the license text on the console:
# ssh root@localhost /opt/charon/bin/hasp_srm_view |
...
| Parameter | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| <option> | u | Updates a Sentinel protection key / attaches a detached license |
| i | Retrieves Sentinel protection key information | |
| d | Detaches a license from a Sentinel Software License (SL) key | |
| r | Rehost a license from a Sentinel Software License (SL) key | |
| h | Display help | |
| [filename] | Path to the V2C/H2R file when used with the 'u' option | |
Optional path to the C2V file when used with the 'i' option Uses "stdout" if file name is not specified | ||
Example:
|
...
Login a root. Start "ncu" utility:
================================================================= ========================== VLAN =================================
1 - Dedicate to CHARON
|
Enter "6" then enter the VLAN interface for remove:
| Specify the VLAN interface, which be removed: eth1.111 Removed VLAN -:eth1.111:-
1 - Dedicate to CHARON
|
Enter "8" to quit "ncu" utility.
