  • Mapping to the file representing a physical disk of the VAX/PDP11 system (disk image).

    • "<file-name>.vdisk"
      These files can be created from scratch with "MkDisk" utility. Data and OS disks backups are transferred from the original system via tapes or network and restored into these container files.

      Mapping may also include the full path (recommended), for example: "C:\My disks\my_boot_disk.vdisk" 

      Example:
      set DUA container[0]="my_bootable_disk.vdisk"

      .

  • Mapping to physical disk.

    • "\\.\PhysicalDrive<N>"
      (warning) Be careful not to destroy all the information from the disk dedicated to CHARON VM by mistake. These disks must not be formatted by the host OS.  

      Example:
      set DUA container[1]="\\.\PhysicalDrive1"

      .

  • Mapping to physical disk by its WWID.
    • "\\.\PhysicalDrive(DevID = <XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX>)"
      (warning)Be careful not to destroy all the information from the disk dedicated to CHARON VM by mistake. These disks must not be formatted by the host OS.

      DevID addresses the target physical disk by its WWID (hexadecimal 128-bit identifier assigned to the disk drive by its manufacturer/originator).

      Example:

      Div
      classsmall

      set DUA container[2]="\\.\PhysicalDrive(DevID= 6008-05F3-0005-2950-BF8E-0B86-A0C7-0001)"

      .

  • Mapping to 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
      classsmall

      set DUA container[3]="\\.\PhysicalDrive(iScsiTarget= iqn.2008-04:iscsi.charon-target-test1, LUN= 1)"

       

  • Mapping to CD-ROM device.

    • "\\.\CdRom<N>"

      Example:
      set DUA container[4]="\\.\CdRom0"

      .

  • Mapping to an ISO file for reading distribution CD-ROM image.

    • "<file-name>.iso"

      Mapping may also include the full path (recommended), for example: "C:\My disks\vms_distributive.iso"

      Example:
      set DUA container[5]="vms_distributive.iso"

      .

  • Mapping to Floppy drive. 

    • "\\.\A:"

      Example:
      set DUA container[6]="\\.\A:"

      .

  •  Mapping to some other type of drive, for example magneto-optical drive.  

    • "\\.\<N>:"

      Example:
      set DUA container[6]="\\.\H:"

      .

    • Mapping ObjectDescription
    virtual_scsi_disk

    Mapping to a file representing VAX/PDP11 disk (disk image) on the host physical disk:

    • Using

      "<file-name>.vdisk"
      These files can be created from scratch with "MkDisk" utility. Data and OS disk backups are transferred from the original system via tapes or network and restored into these container files. Mapping may also include the full path (recommended), for example: "C:\My disks\my_boot_disk.vdisk"

    Warning
    physical_scsi_deviceMapping to a host SCSI device:
    • "\\.\Tape<N>" - mapping to a SCSI tape drive known to Windows
    virtual_scsi_cdromMapping to a host CD-ROM (not only SCSI) or to ISO image:
    • "\\.\CdRom<N>" - name of host CD-ROM drive

    • "<file-name>.iso" - name of ISO image. It may contain the full path, for example: "C:\My disks\vms_distributive.iso"
    virtual_scsi_tapeMapping to a file representing tape (tape image). It may contain a path, for example: "C:\My tapes\backup.vtape"
    floppy_scsi_deviceMapping to a host floppy drive:
    • "\\.\A:" or "\\.\B:" - name of host CD-ROM drive. This parameter can be omitted.

    TQK50 controller

    Example statements to configure a TQK50 controller are shown below:

    ...

    load packet_port/chnetwrk EZA0 interface="connection:Charon"
    set EZA interface=EZA0

    ...

    CHARON supports VLAN adapters. If used, proceed with their installation and configuration according to the network adapter vendor User's Guide and then use the resulting VLAN interface the same way as the regular network interface.

    ...

     



    After few seconds the chosen interface will be assigned to CHARON:
