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 "Device check tool" (accessible in the "Host Information and Utilities" section of the CHARON Virtual Machines Machine Manager). Once specified, all the disks attached to the storage are automatically mapped as disk units to the CHARON VM.

...

Optionally it is possible to configure the folIowing models of PBXDA-xx family controllers.

VIrtual PBXDA-xx

Syntax for loading PBXDA-xx family serial lines adapters:

#load PBXDA/DIGI <name>
#load PBXDA_BA/DIGI <name>
#load PBXDA_BB/DIGI <name>
#load PBXDA_AC/DIGI <name>

Example:

load PBXDA_AC/DIGI TXA

The adapter instance name ("TXA" in the example above) is used then for parametrization, for example:


set TXA line[2]="COM1:"
set TXA port[3]=1706

The numbers in the square brackets represent line number on the virtual PBXDA adapter starting from 0.
