You can optionally uncomment this line to differentiate this CHARON-AXP instance from all others in a multi-instance environment. The configuration name can be any label that is meaningful.
It is possible to specify a configuration name containing spaces, in this case use quotation marks:
set session configuration_name = "My ES40" |
The configuration name is reported in the log file and is used to set the log file name for rotating log (see further: Rotating log (default) ).
...
Note that the number of the specified host CPUs must correspond to the number of the emulated CPUs (one host CPU for one emulated CPU). This ; this value is specific for each HP Alpha model) and number of CPUs needed for CHARON application itself ("n_of_io_cpus").
...
Note that the number of the specified CPUs dedicated to CHARON I/O operations must correspond to the total number of available for CHARON CPUs (restricted by "affinity" parameter if needed) and the number of the virtual HP Alpha CPUs to be emulated.

| Option | Description | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| physical_serial_line | Mapping to host "\\.\COM<n>" ("COM<n>:") physical serial line. | |||||||
| virtual_serial_line | Mapping to an IP port of CHARON-AXP host.
Example:
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:

| Type of mapping | Description | ||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| "<file-name>.vdisk" | Mapping to the file representing a physical disk of the HP Alpha system (disk image). | ||||||||||
| "\\.\PhysicalDriveNPhysicalDrive<N>" | Mapping to physical disk. These disks must not be formatted by the host OS. | ||||||||||
| "\\.\PhysicalDrive(DevID =XXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX)" | Mapping to physical disk by its WWID. These disks must not be formatted by the host OS. DevID addresses the target physical disk by its WWID (hexadecimal 128-bit identifier assigned to the disk drive by its manufacturer/originator). Example:
| ||||||||||
| "\\.\PhysicalDrive(iScsiTarget = <iSCSI target>, LUN = <LUN number>)" | Mapping to iSCSI disks.
Example:
| ||||||||||
| "\\.\ScsiNScsi<N>:X<X>:Y<Y>:Z<Z>" | Mapping to some SCSI device unknown to Windows for direct mapping, for example, a SCSI disk or tape reader. The values of N, X, Y and Z can be collected using special utility "Host Device Check" included in the CHARON distributive - or manually by investigation of the devices connected to CHARON host in the "Device Manager" applet.
| ||||||||||
| "\\.\CdRomNCdRom<N>" | Mapping to CD-ROM device. | ||||||||||
| "<file-name>.iso" | Mapping to an ISO file for reading distribution CD-ROM image. Mapping may also include the full path (recommended), for example: "C:\My disks\vms_distributive.iso" | ||||||||||
"\\.\Tape<N>" | Mapping to a host tape device. | ||||||||||
| "<file-name>.vtape" | Mapping to the file representing the tape (tape image). These files are created automatically. Mapping may also include a full path (recommended), for example: "C:\My tapes\backup.vtape" | ||||||||||
| "\\.\A:" | Mapping to Floppy drive. | ||||||||||
| "\\.\<N>:" | Mapping to some other type of drive, for example magneto-optical drive. |

KGPSA-CA mapping to a storage controller using its "presentation" mode
...
This line loads an instance of KGPSA-CA controller and maps it to some extarnal controler having external controller having ID "5008-05F3-0005-2950-5008-05F3-0005-2951".
| Type of mapping | Description |
|---|---|
| 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. |
