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 CHARON is running from.

Please note

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=0
set pka_0 container[0] =".vtape"

disconnect_timeout

Parameter

disconnect_timeout[N]

N=0…7

TypeNumeric
Value

Sets logical unit disconnect timeout. This parameter helps if a connected SCSI device performs a given SCSI command for a very long time.

The default value depends on the type of the SCSI device attached. For example for a disk it is 10 seconds, for a tape - an hour. If the type of the device is not known the timeout is 1 hour.

Example with 48 days timeout:

set pka_0 disconnect_timeout[1] = 0x400000
