Charon-HPA Please note: Charon-PAR can also be set up configured to start automatically as a daemon when the host system boots and to be stopped when the host system is shut down. However, such a configuration requires that the user shut down the guest OS cleanly before the emulator is stopped. Failure to do so can cause data corruption in the guest system. Contact your Stromasys representative for support to set up if you require such a configuration.

Charon-PAR/PA9 Systems
By default, the newly installed guest HP-UX system is not booted automatically when the emulator starts. A HP9000 Charon-PAR/PA9 system running HP-UX can be configured for autoboot in two different ways:
- Configuration from the PDC console.
- Configuration from HP-UX.
Autoboot Please note: Autoboot will be interrupted if a configuration change occurs which causes reduced performance to allow manual intervention. This can be overridden by enabling autostart in addition to autoboot on the PDC console. However, this is not recommended as it is important to understand the cause of the problem.
...
To enable autoboot from the HP9000 Charon-PAR/PA9 PDC console before system boot, perform the following steps:
| Step | Description / Command | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Start the emulator. | # /opt/charon/bin/ |
charon-par -f </path-to/configuration-file> | ||
| 2 | Enter menu mode. | At the prompt Main Menu: Enter command or menu > type menu. |
| 3 | Enter the configuration menu. | Type CO to enter the configuration menu.This will display the available configuration options. |
| 4 | Activate autoboot. | Type auto boot on to enable autoboot (or use the abbreviation au bo on).Autoboot is now enabled for the next boot. |
| 5 | Restart the emulator. | Stop the emulator: enter the exit command at the |
pa9-64>orpa9-32>prompt and hit Enter. Start the emulator again as shown in step 1. |
To interrupt autoboot, press any key as soon as the system comes up. As there are only a few 5 seconds time to do this, this requires to have the PuTTy PuTTY console started automatically.
To disable autoboot, follow the steps above, but use the command auto boot off instead.

After enabling autoboot, shut down the guest system and restart the emulator. The system will boot automatically.
To interrupt autoboot, press any key as soon as the system comes up. As there are only 5 seconds time to do this, this requires to have the PuTTy PuTTY console started automatically.

Charon-PAR/PA3 Systems
Setting a HP3000 Charon-PAR/PA3 system with MPE/iX to autoboot requires two separate steps:
- Applying an autoboot file to the guest operating system that enables automatic execution of the
start norecoverycommand. - Enabling autoboot on the HP3000 Charon-PAR/PA3 PDC console.
Applying an Autoboot File to the System
...
Follow the steps below to create and apply the SLT:
| Step | Commands | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Boot the system and log in as the Manager. Then copy the supplied autoboot file, and load the virtual tape file on LDev 7 |
. LDev 7 is preconfigured in SYSGEN as device 0/0/1/0.6.0 (virtual tape MKA600 using container ldev7.img in the example). Wait for the message |
| |
| 2 | Use sysgen to specify the new autoboot file and write the SLT.
| :SYSGENsysgen> sysfilesysfile> aauto autoboot.pub.sys type=discsysfile> holdsysfile> exitsysgen> tape?19:00/#S2/XXX/ LDEV# FOR "SYSGTAPE" ON TAPE (NUM)? |
| 3 | Respond to the prompt. |
|
| 4 | Wait for the message " **boot tape is successfully built**" before you continue. | |
| 5 | Exist sysgen, respond yes to the question if you really want to exit, and then shut down the system. | sysgen> exit(...) Configuration changes are not kept yet!Still want to exit (yes/no) ? yes: shutdown system |
| 6 | Stop and restart the emulator. | To stop, type exit at the Charon-PAR pa3> console prompt. Then restart the emulator. |
| 7 | Reboot the system from the virtual tape on |
LDev 7.
|
|
|
| 8 | The system will display the list of files that are updated. Wait for this to finish. |
| 9 | Boot normally. This should now be possible without interacting with IPL. |
|
After Please note: After this step, the virtual tape container (ldev7.img in the example) can be removed or archived. It is no longer needed.

Enabling Autoboot on the PDC Console
To enable autoboot from the HP3000 Charon-PAR/PA3 PDC console before system boot, perform the following steps:
| Step | Description / Command | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | (Re)start the emulator (shut down the guest OS and emulator before, as needed). | # /opt/charon/bin/ |
charon-par -f </path-to/configuration-file> | ||
| 2 | Enter menu mode. | At the prompt Main Menu: Enter command or menu > type menu. |
| 3 | Enter the configuration menu. | Type CO to enter the configuration menu.This will display the available configuration options. |
| 4 | Activate autoboot. | Type auto boot on to enable autoboot (or use the abbreviation au bo on).Autoboot is now enabled for the next boot. |
| 5 | Restart the emulator. | Stop the emulator: enter the exit command at the |
pa3>prompt and hit Enter. Start the emulator again as shown in step 1. |
To interrupt autoboot, press any key as soon as the system comes up. As there are only 5 seconds time to do this, this requires to have the PuTTy PuTTY console started automatically.
To disable autoboot, follow the steps above, but use the command auto boot off instead.
