Adding disk space to the Charon-HPA emulated HP3000 or HP9000 system PAR emulated guest systems systems is a process consisting of several steps:
- Build disk container files in the Linux host file system.
- Link these disk container files with the corresponding HP3000 or HP9000 emulator configuration paths in the Charon configuration file.
- Enable the disk for use by the guest operating system.
- For HP3000Charon-PA3:
- Define virtual disk devices using SYSGEN on the virtual HP3000MPE/iX.
- Create the virtual volume using VOLUTIL on the virtual HP3000MPE/iX.
There is no direct correspondence between the number of virtual disks that are added to the emulated system and the number of Linux disks on which they reside. The storage on the host system just must provide enough capacity to store the disk containers used as virtual disks by the emulated system.

Step | Command | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Change to the directory where you store your virtual disks. | Example:
|
| 2 | Create an empty disk container. Note that the actual size of the disk will depend on the requirements of your emulated system. | Example virtual disk creation (size 20GB):

...
The new virtual disk must be added to the configuration file of the Charon-HPA PAR instance. This requires two commands:
...
Adding the Device via Sysgen
After booting the virtual HP3000MPE/iX guest system in the emulator, add the device using SYSGEN; specify ID=ST19171N and the path that you specified in the configuration file load command in the previous step. For example:
...
