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
  class small
  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 Added
  
  Note
  If "Host Device Check" utility does not display WWID value it means that the target disk does not have it. Use the "\\.\PhysicalDrive<N>" mapping in this case.
iSCSI disks
- "\\.\PhysicalDrive(iScsiTarget = <iSCSI target>, LUN = <LUN number>)"
  iScsiTarget addresses the disk by its iSCSI target name. LUN specifies LUN on connected iSCSI disk.
  Example:
  
  Div
  class small
  set pka_2 container="\\.\PhysicalDrive(iScsiTarget= iqn.2008-04:iscsi.charon-target-test1, LUN= 1)"
  
  .

This parameter is initially not set, thus creating NO storage elements on the controller

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").

Warning

If the "CHARON Guest Utilities for OpenVMS" (CHARONCP) package is used there is a possibility not to specify the exact tape container on CHARON start since it can be specified later using the package.

In this case the syntax is:

load virtual_scsi_tape/chscsi pka_0 scsi_bus=pka scsi_id=0set pka_0 container[0]=".vtape"

Warning
Using compressed folders to store virtual disks and tapes is not supported
