(warning) 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.

(info) The Charon-PA9 functionality of Charon-PAR emulates the historic HP9000 hardware.

StepCommand
1Change 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.

(warning) HP-UX 9.07 allows a maximum root disk size of 2GB. The number of blocks should be a multiple of 512.

Adapting the Configuration File Template

...


StepDescription
1Create a copy of the configuration file template.

Example: 

cd /data/Stromasys/host1/

cp /opt/charon/cfg/pa9-32.cfg host1.cfg

2Open the configuration file in a text editor.

vi host1.cfg

or

gedit host1.cfg

3Configure the system model.

model "720"

Configured model must be covered by your license.

4Configure the RAM for the emulated system (in MB).memory 64
5Configure 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:

asp.uart0.device.command="putty -load PAR-Telnet-VT100"

6Configure disk 1 (system disk).

Change definition of DKA0 to:

DKA0.image="/data/Stromasys/host1/Data/Disk/ldev1.dsk"

7Add 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).

load DKA100

DKA100.image="/data/Stromasys/host1/Data/Disk/HP-UX_9.07_Install_S700.iso"

8Configure 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:

system.lan0.card.iface="eth1"

system.lan0.card.initialize_command="export eth=eth1; ethtool -K $eth rx off ; ethtool -K $eth tx off ; ethtool -K $eth sg off ; ethtool -K $eth gso off ; ethtool -K $eth gro off ; ethtool -K $eth txvlan off ; ethtool -K $eth rxvlan off"

(info) Depending on the capabilities of the Ethernet device, not all off-load parameters maybe be available. This will create a warning message.

9Save the configuration file.
