ParameterTypeValue

container[N]

N=0…7

Text String

A string containing the device name to map to the emulator. N stands for logical unit number (LUN). It must begin at 0 and have no gaps in subsequent numbering. If there is only one logical unit the number can be omitted.

Mapping to host system resourcesDescription
"\\.\PhysicalDrive<X>", where X is 0, 1, …for local fixed disks (IDE, SCSI, SATA)

"\\.\PhysicalDrive(DevID =XXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX)" 

for local fixed disks (IDE, SCSI, SATA)

DevID addresses the target physical disk by its WWID
(hexadecimal 128-bit identifier assigned to the disk
drive by its manufacturer/originator).

Example:

set pka_1 container=”\\.\PhysicalDrive(DevID
= 6008-05F3-0005-2950-BF8E-0B86-A0C7-0001)”

"\\.\PhysicalDrive(iScsiTarget = <iSCSI target>, LUN = <LUN number>)"

for iSCSI disks

iScsiTarget addresses the disk by its iSCSI target name.

LUN specifies LUN on connected iSCSI disk. 

Example:

set pka_5 container=”\\.\PhysicalDrive(iScsiTarget
= iqn.2008-04:iscsi.charon-target-test1, LUN
= 1)”
"\\.\A:" or "\\.\B:"for floppy drives
"\\.\CdRom<X>", where X is 0, 1, …for CD-ROM, DVD drives (IDE, SCSI, …)
"\\.\Tape<X>", where X is 0, 1, …for physical tape drives recognized by Windows

"\\.\Scsi<X>:<Y>:<Z>:<N>"

Use the utility "Host Device Check" to find the values of X,Y,Z and N

for physical tape drives and other SCSI devices not recognized by Windows

This parameter is initially not set, thus creating NO storage elements on the controller

media_type[N]

N=0…7

Text String

Overrides the PRODUCT ID in the default SCSI INQUIRY data.

Valid values may contain uppercase letters, integers and spaces. The length of the string cannot exceed 16 characters.

If not specified, synthetic SCSI INQUIRY data is returned containing a PRODUCT ID selected based on the disk size.

Initially left unspecified.

geometry[N]

N=0…7

Text String

This formatted string value specifies the explicit geometry of the disk storage element

The string format is <X>”/”<Y>[“/”<Z>] where:

  • "X" is the number of sectors per track;
  • "Y" is the number of tracks per cylinder;
  • "Z" (optional) is the number of cylinders on the unit. If omitted, Z is calculated based on X, Y and the total number of sectors on the unit that reflects the size of the disk storage element;

If this parameter is not set, CHARON-VAX will configure the geometry based on the most probable disk type.

use_io_file_buffering[N]

N=0…7

boolean

Enables use of the host OS I/O buffering.

Initially set to “NO” (buffering disabled).

removable[N]

N=0…7

boolean

Enables the logical unit to appear as a removable SCSI disk drive.

Initially set to “NO” (fixed, non-removable).
