Please note: All Linux and HP-UX sample commands in this section are performed as the root user (prompt = #). This may not be necessary for all commands in all environments depending on the local permission settings. The commands can be executed on the Charon host graphical console or via a non-graphical login (e.g., SSH). However, for accessing the running emulator, the use of PuTTY is strongly recommended because it works best with the emulator environment.
The Charon-PAR/PA9-32 functionality of Charon-PAR emulates historic 32-bit HP9000 hardware. This section shows a sample installation of a 32-bit guest system.
HP-UX ISO Installation Medium
...
The emulated system requires a disk on which the HP-UX system will be installed. Create a system disk as shown in the following example:
| Step | Command | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Change to the directory where you store your virtual disks. | # cd /data/Stromasys/host1/Data/Disk/ |
| 2 | Create an empty disk container. Note that the actual size of the disk will depend on the requirements of your emulated system. The disk name shown is just an example.
| # dd if=/dev/zero of=ldev1.dsk bs=1K count=2091520 |
...
Perform the following steps to create a basic configuration file for a Charon-PAR emulated historic HP9000 (rp2400 example) system:
| Step | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Create a copy of the configuration file template. | Example:
|
| 2 | Open the configuration file in a text editor. |
or
|
| 3 | Configure the system model. | model "720" Configured model must be covered by your license. |
| 4 | Configure the RAM for the emulated system (in MB). | memory 64 |
| 5 | Configure the serial console for telnet via PuTTY. | Use the method 2 of the serial line section in the configuration file and make sure the definition of the asp.uart0.device is:
|
| 6 | Configure disk 1 (system disk). | Change definition of DKA0 to:
|
| 7 | Add a definition for disk 2 (ISO file) or (if it already exists) modify the definition to point to your ISO installation file for the mini-system (the install disk). |
|
| 8 | Configure a network card. | Change definition of the Ethernet interface configuration to the interface that is assigned to the emulated system (example: eth1) and disable the offload parameters for the interface:
|
| 9 | Save the configuration file. |
...
This section shows how to start the emulator and install a HP-UX system.
Please note: The examples in this section assume that a graphical interface is used, on which a PuTTY session can be run. Should this not be possible, you can access the console of the emulated system by using, for example, a telnet client and pointing it to the TCP port on the Charon host defined for the serial console port in the configuration file. The default port is 30000 (sample command: $ telnet <charon-host> 30000).
...
To start the emulated Charon-PAR/PA9-32 system, perform the following steps:
| Step | Command | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Go to the directory where the configuration file has been stored. | # cd /data/Stromasys/host1/ |
| 2 | Start the emulator instance. | # /opt/charon/bin/charon-par -f host1.cfg |
...
At the same time, a green PuTTY console window will open.
Should Please note: Should there be an error from PuTTY about missing fonts, start PuTTY as the root user, load the PAR-Telnet-VT100 profile, set a font that is available on the host system, save the configuration.
