Introduction
CHARON-VAX provides two SCSI controllers for the SCSI and SCSI/QBUS models of VAX.
...
CHARON-VAX is able to boot from disk images of any VAX/VMS version, starting with 4.5 or higher for MicroVAX II or VAX 3600 and VMS 5.5-2 or higher for the VAX4000.

virtual_scsi_disk
Use the "virtual_scsi_disk" mapping for disk containers and physical disks. This is the most convenient way of connecting disks to SCSI adapters in CHARON-VAX
...
| Warning | |
|---|---|
Unlike MSCP controlled disk images, a disk image connected to a SCSI controller as a virtual SCSI disk CANNOT be replaced by another disk image unless "removable" parameter is set for this particular disk image. Example:

| 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").
