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.

HP-UX ISO Installation Medium 

...

During this step, the basic system will be used to install the other components of the operating system.

The first step is to Step 1: replace the install ISO file in the emulator configuration with the Core_OS ISO file as described below:

• Open the emulator configuration file

...

• in a text editor.
• Find the definition for the virtual CD-ROM (DKA100 in this example).
• Modify the definition to point to your Core_OS ISO file for the mini-system.
  Example:
  DKA100.image="/data/Stromasys/host1/Data/Disk/HP-UX_9.07_Core_OS_S700.iso"

Step 2: start the emulator and boot the basic HP-UX system as described below:

• Go to the directory where the emulator configuration file is stored.
• Start the emulator.
  Example:
  # /opt/charon/bin/charon-par -f host1.cfg
• In the green PuTTY window, at the prompt Main Menu: Enter command or menu >, enter the boot command
  boot 2/0/1.0.0 and press Return to boot from the system disk (DKA0 in this example).
• Enter N at the Interact with IPL prompt.
• The basic HP-UX system should boot.

Step 3: install the Core OS filesets as described below:

• Confirm that you have the correct ISO installed.
• Enter your choice for the fileset selection (normally all filesets of the Core OS).

• You will be asked to confirm your choice twice.
• Then, the loading of the filesets begins.
• At the end, the HP-UX system is shut down and returns to the console environment.

HP-UX 9.07 Installation Phase 3: Boot and Configure the HP-UX Operating System

Upon boot, you will be asked a few questions for the initial configuration of your system.

Step 1: decide if the system should be connected to a network:

If you answer yes to this question, you will be lead through a series of questions and dialogs allowing you to configure

• hostname
• IP address and netmask
• default gateway
• DNS
• fontserver

Step 2: configure the timezone and time.

A set of questions and dialogs will lead you through this step. Note that HP-UX 9.07 may not allow you to set the current year (last year to set may be 1999). You can set the date later using the date command:
# date [-u] [mmddhhmm[[cc]yy]]
(Format: month / day of month / hour / minutes / century / year)

Step 3: set the root password.

Step 4: login and terminal configuration.

After the above steps have been completed, you will be able to login as the root user and start using the system. At the beginning, you have to select your terminal settings.

Stopping the Emulator

In order to stop the emulator in an orderly manner, perform the following steps:

1. Shut down the guest operating system:

# shutdown -h now

2. After the guest operating system shutdown is complete, stop the emulator:

• Emulator started in interactive mode (Charon-PAR console is available): Enter the exit command at thepa9-32> prompt and hit Enter. This will cause the emulator to close the disk images of the emulated system and to exit.
• Emulator started as daemon or as a service (Charon-PAR console is not available): In the current version, the emulator process is not stopped automatically after the guest system has been shut down. This means it must be stopped manually using the kill command from the root user on the Charon host system. This behavior may change in future versions of the software. Perform the following steps to stop the Charon-PAR process:
  1. Find the PID (process id) of the process: # ps -ef | grep -i charon-par
  2. Stop the process: # kill <charon-par-pid>
