Each peripheral device of CHARON Virtual Machine (VM) connects to CHARON-AXP emulated PCI bus with the following configuration parameters:

bus

Parameterbus
TypeText string
Value

Value formats:

  • AlphaServer 400-4100, DS, ES, use: "pci_<X>"
  • AlphaServer GS, use: "qbb_<X>_pca_<Y>_pci_<Z>"

When specified, the bus configuration parameter tells the CHARON-AXP software the virtual PCI bus to which virtual HP Alpha system shall connect a certain virtual PCI adapter.

By default the bus configuration parameter is not specified.

If the bus configuration parameter is not specified, CHARON VM software connects the virtual PCI adapter to the first available virtual PCI bus.

Example (AlphaServer ES40):

load KZPBA PKA bus=pci_1

Example (AlphaServer GS80):

load KZPBA PKA bus=qbb_1_pca_1_pci_0

...

Parameterdevice
TypeNumeric
Value

When specified, the device configuration parameter specifies position of a virtual PCI adapter on virtual PCI bus.

By default the device configuration parameter is not specified.

If the device configuration parameter is not specified, the CHARON VM software connects the virtual PCI adapter at the first available position of the virtual PCI bus.

Example:

load KZPBA PKA device=2

function

Parameterfunction
TypeNumeric
Value

When specified, the function configuration parameter specifies position of a virtual PCI adapter on virtual PCI bus.

By default the function configuration parameter is not specified.

If the function configuration parameter is not specified, the CHARON VM software connects the virtual PCI a dapter at the first available position of the virtual PCI bus.

Example:

load KZPBA PKA function=0

...

Note that typically all or some of those parameters are specified on loading of some PCI controller in the following way:

load KZPBA PKA bus=pci_1 device=1 function=0 irq_bus=isa irq=24
