OptionDescription
physical_serial_lineMapping to host "\\.\COM<n>" ("COM<n>") physical serial line.
virtual_serial_line

Mapping to an IP port of CHARON-AXP host.
Using this mapping it is possible to connect to CHARON-AXP console and disconnect from it at any time.It is also possible to start up some chosen application to connect to the CHARON console IP port.

ParameterDescription
portSpecifies a unique IP port on the host to which the CHARON-AXP console will be mapped.
applicationA string specifying a name of an application to be started together with CHARON to provide emulation of HP Alpha console (terminal emulator)It is assumed that this application has already been configured to use the IP port specified by the corresponding "port" parameter

Example:

load virtual_serial_line/chserial OPA0 port=10003 application="putty.exe -load OPA0"

In the example above, CHARON-AXP use the IP port "10003" for the HP Alpha console and starts the "Putty" terminal emulator (included in each CHARON distributive) with the "OPA0" saved session directing it to connect to the IP port "10003". If the terminal emulator is closed, it is always possible to reopen it with the "Show Console" command from the CHARON system tray icon:

Image Modified

The default setting is "load virtual_serial_line/chserial OPA0 port=10003 application="putty.exe -load OPA0".

ParameterRangeDescription
XX0...15

Stands for SCSI ID of each connected unit.

(info) Note that KZPBA itself has some ID associated with it. By default it is 7, but it can be changed in the following way: 

load KZPBA PKA scsi_id = 0

In this example an instance "PKA" of KZPBA controller is assigned with SCSI ID 0.

YY00...07Stands for LUN.

...

Type of mappingDescription
storage_controller_path_id = <Storage controller path ID>

"Storage controller path ID" is a storage (for example SAN) controller path ID.

This ID can be obtained from the special utility "Host Device Check". Once specified, all the disks attached to the storage are automatically mapped as disk units to CHARON-AXP.
