Mapping to system resources

The next step is the specification of the HP Alpha console (OPA0) serial line.

Example:


#set COM1 alias = OPA0 line = "COM1:"
#set COM1 alias = OPA0 port = 10003
#set COM1 alias = OPA0 port = 10003 application = "opa0.ht"
set COM1 alias = OPA0 port = 10003 application = "putty -load OPA0 -P 10003"
#set COM1 alias = OPA0 port = 10003 application = "c:\kea\user\opa0.ktc"

The goal of this configuration step is to tell CHARON-AXP what host device to use as the virtual system console. The following options are available:


Option
Description
line

Mapping to host serial line, "COM<n>:".

port

Mapping to an IP port of the CHARON  host.
Using this mapping it is possible to connect to the CHARON console and disconnect from it at any time.

applicationStarting some application (typically terminal emulator) with its specific options and switches to communicate to CHARON using the IP port defined by the "port" parameter (see above)
aliasDefine some meaningful name for "COM1" and "COM2". Usually it is "OPA0" for "COM1" and "TTA0" for "COM2" (see below)

The second console line "TTA0" can be also optionally configured (for 1 CPU models such as HP AlphaServer 400, HP AlphaServer 800, HP AlphaServer 1000, HP AlphaServer 1000A, HP AlphaServer DS10, HP AlphaServer DS10L and HP AlphaServer DS15):


#set COM2 alias = TTA0 line = "COM2:"
#set COM2 alias = TTA0 port = 10000
#set COM2 alias = TTA0 port = 10000 application = "tta0.ht"
set COM2 alias = TTA0 port = 10000 application = "putty -load TTA0 -P 10000"
#set COM2 alias = TTA0 port = 10000 application = "c:\kea\user\tta0.ktc"

Note that additional parameters for the CHARON VM serial lines configuration can be added. Follow this link for details.

Info
CHARON supports VLAN adapters. If used, proceed with their installation and configuration according to the network adapter vendor User's Guide and then use the resulting VLAN interface the same way as the regular network interface. 


Note

The AlphaServer DS15 and DS25 contain two built-in PCI Ethernet adapters. Models and names (EI* or EW*) of them depend on configuration addon. Choose one of the two or none, but not both. The first instantiates onboard network interfaces as EIA and EWA. While the second - EWA and EWB (enabled by default for backward compatibility)

Example:


#include ds25-onboard-nics.icfg
include ds25-onboard-nics-ew.icfg
