  1. Copy the sample script "/opt/charon/bin/charon" ( "/opt/charon/bin/charon.service" for Fedora Core Linux ) to your home directory (Red Hat Linux) or to "/usr/lib/systemd/system/" directory (Fedora Core), for example:

    Red Hat Linux

    $ cp /opt/charon/bin/charon /my_services/mv3k6_service
    $ chmod 755 /my_services/mv3k6_service

    Fedora Core

    $ cp /opt/charon/bin/charon.service /my_services/usr/lib/systemd/system/mv3k6.service
    $ chmod 755 /my_servicesusr/lib/systemd/system/mv3k6.service

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

    Red Hat Linux

    exec="/opt/charon/bin/mv3k6"
    prog="my_mv3k6"
    config="/my_services/mv3k6-service.cfg"

    Fedora Core

    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

...

Red Hat Linux

# ln -sf /my_services/mv3k6_service /etc/init.d/mv3k6_service
# chkconfig mv3k6_service on
# service mv3k6_service start

Fedora Core

# systemctl enable /my_services/ mv3k6.service
# systemctl start mv3k6.service

...

Red Hat Linux

# chkconfig mv3k6_service off
# chkconfig --del mv3k6_service
# rm -f /etc/init.d/mv3k6_service

Fedora Core

# systemctl disable /my_services mv3k6.service
# rm -f /usr/lib/systemd/system/mv3k6.service 

(warning) Please note that before removing CHARON-VAX service one must shutdown the operating system running by CHARON-VAX and then stop corresponding CHARON-VAX service.
