Required parameters

ParameterValueExample
logfileOptional full path to the logfile that will be used to log the script output. If not specified a file name and path will be chosen based on session log file (one file per script execution). The file name is usually based on the configuration_name followed by "-SHUTDOWN-" and date/time.logfile=C:\Charon\myds20_shutdown.log
mode'opa0'mode=opa0
osEither Tru64 or VMSos=Tru64
servicename

CHARON instance service name.

(warning) When using "opa0" mode, the service is stopped by a "power off" or the "F6" key. If this operation does not succeed (cannot connect to console or "F6" key not enabled for example), it is then stopped using a Windows service command.

servicename=myds20
usernameDefines the remote username that will be used to connect to the console of the CHARON instance (if not already logged in)

For OpenVMS: username=system

For Tru64: username=root

password

Defines the password in clear text that will be used to connect to the console.

The password can be also stored in an encrypted file as described below.

(warning) If password is sent then cryptedpass (below) value must be set to "none" or left empty.

password=12345
cryptedpass

Full path to the text file containing the encrypted password. To create this file, open a command window "cmd.exe" and run "powershell". At the PowerShell prompt, enter the following command:

ConvertTo-SecureString -String "<password>" -AsPlainText -Force | ConvertFrom-SecureString | Out-File "<full path to the file>"

(warning) Please note the password encryption is based on current user credentials

(info) The parameter can be set to "none" or simply commented if not used.

cryptedpass=C:\Charon\myds20pwd.txt
cryptedpsys

Full path to the text file containing the encrypted password that will be used as "system" user (during Windows server shutdown). To create this file, open a command window "cmd.exe", run "psexec -i -s cmd.exe" ((info) psexec is provided in the kit) and run "powershell" from the newly opened window. At the PowerShell prompt, enter the following command:

ConvertTo-SecureString -String "<password>" -AsPlainText -Force | ConvertFrom-SecureString | Out-File "<full path to the file>"

(lightbulb) Use a different name for the output file as the one user for "cryptedpass"

(info) The parameter can be set to "none" or simply commented if not used.

cryptedpsys=C:\Charon\myds20pwd_sys.txt
portDefines the port to access the console (same as the one defined in the configuration file).port=10003
prompt

Defines the prompt at the shell level of the guest operating system. Used to check the user is connected.

Notes:

  • If the prompt contain spaces, it is necessary to add them in the configuration file
  • The prompt must not contain any escape character.

prompt=myds20>

timelimitsecDefines the maximum number of seconds the script can run (default = 180 seconds). This value depends on the time needed to shutdown properly the operating system.timelimitsec=600
windowwidth

Optional parameters used to resize the window when running with service user ("system" account).

Useful during Windows shutdown to check operations executed.

Width = 132 and Height = 32 by default. BufferHeight set 2000 lines by default.

windowwidth=120
windowheightwindowheight=50
