Host platform

The Virtualization Software presents standard VAX devices to the VAX operating system, allowing the OS to function as though it were still running on a VAX computer. For example, virtual disk container files in a directory or device files in /dev directory of the host Linux platform are presented by the Virtualization Software to the VAX OS as emulated SCSI disks attached to a SCSI adapter.

...

A similar translation process is also valid for other emulated hardware devices.
