Run CHARON-AXP and boot from "dqa0" ("migration.cfg" is the configuration file we use in this example):

Install HP Alpha/VMS including DECnet on "dua2dka400". DECnet address must belong to the same area as the source HP Alpha system.

Login to the newly installed VMS OpenVMS system and initialize the disk intended for backups storage. Let's assume it's prompt is "newvms$ "

newvms$ INIT DUA3DKA300: SCRATCH
newvms$ MOUNT/SYSTEM/NOASSIST DUA3DKA300: SCRATCH

Once the backup procedure completes, the disk "DUA3DKA300" of CHARON-AXP will contain 2 3 savesets: "DUA0"DKA0.BCK", "DKA100.BCK" and and "DUA1DKA200.BCK"

Next, restore the new savesets to their corresponding virtual disks. Login to CHARON-AXP and issue this sequence of commands to restore all the savesets created on the previous step:

newvms$ MOUNT/FOREIGN DUA0DKA0:
newvms$ BACKUP/IMAGE DUA3DKA300:[000000]DUA0DKA0.BCK/SAVE DUA0DKA0:
newvms$ DISMOUNT DUA0DKA0:

newvms$ MOUNT/FOREIGN DKA100:
newvms$ BACKUP/IMAGE DKA300:[000000]DKA100.BCK/SAVE DKA100:
newvms$ DISMOUNT DKA100:

newvms$ MOUNT/FOREIGN DUA1 DKA200:
newvms$ BACKUP/IMAGE DUA3DKA300:[000000]DUA1DKA200.BCK/SAVE DUA1DKA200:
newvms$ DISMOUNT DUA1DKA200:

If you are going to have CHARON-AXP and the original physical HP Alpha on the network at the same time, you must change the network identity

...

Then Enable the network and reboot.

Connect a SCSI tape drive to CHARON-AXP / CHARON-PDP host via a PCI card
- Map the tape drive in the CHARON-AXP / CHARON-PDP configuration file
  a. Restore source HP Alpha system backups from tape to disk images via VMS/RSX11/RT11 OpenVMS running on CHARON-AXP / CHARON-PDP.
  b. Boot from standalone backups and restore its content to CHARON-AXP / CHARON-PDP virtual disks
- Dump source HP Alpha /PDP11 system backups to tape images with "mtd" utility and:
  a. Boot from freshly installed VMS/RSX11/RT11 OpenVMS system and restore the tape images to CHARON-AXP / CHARON-PDP virtual disks
  b. Boot from standalone backups and restore its content to CHARON-AXP / CHARON-PDP virtual disks
Create a network cluster between the source HP Alpha /PDP11 system and CHARON-AXP / CHARON-PDP (it is possible to use the source system as boot server); then simple backup from one disk to another:
