If for some reason CHARON-VAX refuses to start please look for files with .log extension (CHARON-VAX log files) located in the directory from which CHARON-VAX starts, open them in some editing tool and analyze their content. In most cases those files contain very helpful information on what may possible went wrong.

To exit from CHARON-VAX emulator use the following methods:

...

1. Copy the sample script "/opt/charon/bin/charon" ( "/opt/charon/bin/charon.service" for Fedora Core Linux ) to your home directory (Red Hat Linux) or to "/usr/lib/systemd/system/" directory (Fedora Core), for example:

   Red Hat Linux	$ cp /opt/charon/bin/charon /my_services/mv3k6_service $ chmod 755 /my_services/mv3k6_service
   Fedora Core	$ cp /opt/charon/bin/charon.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/mv3k6.service $ chmod 755 /usr/lib/systemd/system/mv3k6.service

2. Edit the renamed file to replace sample values of the following parameters, for example:

   Red Hat Linux	exec="/opt/charon/bin/mv3k6" prog="my_mv3k6" config="/my_services/mv3k6-service.cfg"
   Fedora Core	ExecStart=/opt/charon/bin/mv3k6 -d /my_services/mv3k6-service.cfg WorkingDirectory=/my_services

             

3. Create and edit configuration file ( "/my_services/mv3k6-service.cfg" in the examples above ) the way it was described before and make sure that the following pre-requisites are met:

   • OPA0 must be configured as virtual port or physical console, not as operator console, for example:

     load virtual_serial_line OPA0 port=10003 #load operator_console OPA0

     Div
     class pagebreak

   • Use only absolute paths to log, toy clock, nvram files and all the other data such as disk images etc. The names of the references files must be unique too, for example

     ... set session log="/my_services/my_mv3k6.log" set toy container="/my_services/my_mv3k6.dat" load RQDX3/RQDX3 DUA set DUA container[0]="/my_services/mv3k6_daemon_boot_disk.vdisk" ...

   • Make sure the same physical devices are not used by other CHARON-VAX daemon, same for the OPA0 console port number.
