Introduction
This section describes how to migrate your VAX system to CHARON-VAX. We will use a sample MicroVAX 3600 system to demonstrate the migration procedure. The process is similar for all CHARON-VAX models.
| Info |
|---|
If the CHARON-VAX based virtual system needs to be created from scratch, refer to the appendix "Configuring devices on the Qbus of a VAX or CHARON-VAX" describing how to find proper Qbus addresses and Vectors for each virtual device. |

Creation of CHARON-VAX configuration file
...
DESQA is mapped to the "eth1" network interface. This interface will be used for CHARON-VAX (see the Installation section for more details) on this particular host.

Making disk images
In our example, possible mappings of the RQDX3 and TQK50 tapes include physical devices and disk and tape images. Tape images have not to be manually created whereas you have to provision disk images, as described below.

Making remote backups
Now we are ready to create disk backups from the source VAX system to CHARON-VAX.
...
When the backup procedure will be completed, the disk "DUA3" of the CHARON-VAX virtual machine will contain 4 savesets: "DUA0.BCK", "DUA1.BCK", "DUB0.BCK" and "DUB1.BCK"

Alternative ways of data transfer
...
- Connect a SCSI tape drive to the CHARON-VAX host via a PCI card
Create a network cluster between the source VAX system and CHARON-VAX (it is possible to use the source system as a boot server) then perform backups from one disk to another:
$ BACKUP/IMAGE/IGNORE=INTER REAL$DUA0: DUA0:
