The "virtual_scsi_disk" mapping has the following parameters:
container
| Parameter | container[N] N=0…7 |
|---|
| Type | Text String |
|---|
| Value | A string containing the device name to map to the emulator. - Disk images
- [<path-name>"\"]<file-name>[".vdisk"]
Format: A string containing the full path to a disk container. If only the name of the disk container is specified, CHARON-VAX will look for the container in the folder where the emulator executable resides, typically "C:\Program Files (x86)\CHARON\Build_XXXXX\x86" (Windows x64; for Windows x86 the path is "C:\Program Files\CHARON\Build_XXXXX\x86"). | Warning |

Using compressed folders to store virtual disks and tapes is not supported |
.
- Local fixed disks (IDE, SATA)
- "\\.\PhysicalDrive<X>", where X is 0, 1, …
- "\\.\PhysicalDrive(DevID =XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX)"
DevID addresses the target physical disk by its WWID (hexadecimal 128-bit identifier assigned to the disk drive by its manufacturer/originator). Example:
| Div |
|---|
| set pka_1 container="\\.\PhysicalDrive(DevID= 6008-05F3-0005-2950-BF8E-0B86-A0C7-0001)"
|
|
.The WWID values can be obtained from "Host Device Check" utility ("All drives" section), for example: Image Removed
.
| Note |
|---|
If the "Host Device Check" utility does not display any WWID, this means the target disk does not have one. Use the "\\.\PhysicalDrive<N>" mapping in this case. |
- iSCSI disks
This parameter is initially not set, thus creating NO storage elements on the controller |

media_type
| Parameter | media_type[N] N=0…7 |
|---|
| Type | Text String |
|---|
| Value | Overrides the PRODUCT ID in the default SCSI INQUIRY data. Valid values may contain uppercase letters, integers and spaces. The length of the string cannot exceed 16 characters. If not specified, synthetic SCSI INQUIRY data is returned containing a PRODUCT ID selected based on the disk size. Initially left unspecified. |
|---|
geometry
| Parameter | geometry[N] N=0…7 |
|---|
| Type | Text String |
|---|
| Value | This formatted string value specifies the explicit geometry of the disk storage element The string format is <X>”/”<Y>[“/”<Z>] where: - "X" is the number of sectors per track;
- "Y" is the number of tracks per cylinder;
- "Z" (optional) is the number of cylinders on the unit. If omitted, Z is calculated based on X, Y and the total number of sectors on the unit that reflects the size of the disk storage element;
If this parameter is not set, CHARON-VAX will configure the geometry based on the most probable disk type. |

| Parameter | container[N] N=0…7 |
|---|
| Type | Text String |
|---|
| Value | A string containing the full path to a tape container. If the specified tape image does not exist, CHARON-VAX creates it. If only the name of the tape container is specified, CHARON-VAX will look for the container in the folder where the emulator executable resides, typically "C:\Program Files (x86)\CHARON\Build_XXXXX\x86" (Windows x64; for Windows x86 the path is "C:\Program Files\CHARON\Build_XXXXX\x86").
