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-PA9 functionality of Charon-PAR emulates the historic HP9000 hardware.

1	Change to the directory where you store your virtual disks.	`# cd /data/Stromasys/host1/Data/Disk/`
2	Unpack an ISO file contained in a compressed tar archive into this directory (example only: the actual command will vary depending on the location and archive format of your ISO file).	`# tar -xzf /path-to-file/HPUX_11v1_Sept2005_FOE.tgz`

If everything works, you will see log output in the current terminal window ending an a pa9-64> or pa9-32> prompt (depending on the configured model). This is the Charon-PAR emulator console. It displays log information, allows to set configuration parameters and to stop the emulator.

At the same time, a green PuTTY console window will open.

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.
