The "virtual_scsi_disk" mapping has the following parameters:
container
| Parameter | container[N] N=0…7 |
|---|
| Type | Text String |
|---|
| Value | A string containing the device name to map to the emulator. - Disk images
- [<path-name>"/"]<file-name>[".vdisk"]
Format: A string containing the full path to a disk container. If only the name of the disk container is specified, CHARON-VAX will look for the container in the folder CHARON is running from.
.
- Local fixed disks (IDE, SCSI, SATA)
- "/dev/sd<L>" where "L" is letter
- "/dev/disk/by-id/..." - addressing by the disk ID, for example "/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST1000DM003-9YN162_S1D01QJ4"
- "/dev/disk/by-label/..." - addressing by the disk label, for example "/dev/disk/by-label/MyStorage"
"/dev/disk/by-uuid/..." - addressing by the disk UUID, for example "/dev/disk/by-uuid/0e808a2f-cdd3-4944-a245-f729ffd73882"
| Note |
|---|
Since "/dev/sd<L>" addressing is not persistent, so it is strongly recommended to use "/dev/disk/by-id/wwn-*" syntax instead to refer the disk by its WWID - especially in the enviroments utilizing FC and SAN storages. |
 It is also possible to use not a whole disk, but previously created partitions on it. In this case the syntax is the following: "/dev/sd<L><N>" where N is the number of partition to be used.
.
- Multipath disks
- "/dev/dm-<X>",
- "/dev/mapper/mpath<X>",
- "/dev/mapper/disk<X>" where X is 0,1,2...
.
- Floppy drives
- "/dev/fd<X>" where X is 0,1,2...
This parameter is initially not set, thus creating NO storage elements on the controller

| Type | Text String |

| Value | A string containing the full path to a tape container. If the specified tape image does not exist, CHARON-VAX creates it. If only the name of the tape container is specified, CHARON-VAX will look for the container in the folder CHARON is running from. | Warning |
|---|
If the "CHARON Guest Utilities for OpenVMS" (CHARONCP) package is used there is a possibility not to specify the exact tape container on CHARON start since it can be specified later using the package. In this case the syntax is: load virtual_scsi_tape/chscsi pka_0 scsi_bus=pka scsi_id=0
set pka_0 container[0] =".vtape"
