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.

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 ethtool -K $eth $IFACE rx off ; ethtool -K $eth $IFACE tx off ; ethtool -K $eth $IFACE sg off ; ethtool -K $eth $IFACE gso off ; ethtool -K $eth $IFACE gro off ; ethtool -K $eth $IFACE txvlan off ; ethtool -K $eth $IFACE rxvlan off"

Please note: Depending on the capabilities of the Ethernet device, not all off-load parameters maybe be available. This will create a warning message. The variable IFACE is set by the system before executing the initialize command.

9Save the configuration file.
