Required parameters

...

Parameters

logfile

...

Full path to the

...

log file that will be used to log the script output.

Example:
logfile=C:\Charon\myds20vms_shutdown.log

windowsevent

...

Defines which message levels will create a new entry in the Windows Application Events (Source="CHARON")

Can be either "none" or any combination of S, W and E. 'S' for Success, 'W' for Warning and 'E' for Error. Default is 'SE' so Success and Error only.

Example:
windowsevent=SWE

waitbeforestop

Number of seconds to wait

...

before stopping the service once the guest operating system no longer responds to 'ping'

...

. If not set, default value = 60.

Example:
waitbeforestop=10

Div
classpagebreak


servicename

CHARON

...

instance service name

Example:
servicename=myds20vms

...

guestsystem

Server name or IP address

...

Example:
guestsystem=10.0.0.3

os

VMS or Tru64

Example:
os=VMS

mode

rsh

Example:
mode=rsh

rshbin

Defines the location of the "rsh.exe" program.

Example:
rshbin=C:\

...

charon\rsh.exe

username

Defines the remote username that will be used to connect to the

...

guest operating system via rsh.

Example:
username=system

openconsolecmd

Optional parameter used to open the console program while executing the script. This parameter must contain the full path to the software used to connect to the console. In case putty is going to be used, it is possible to set it to 'putty' without any path. Doing so, the script will look for the latest version available in the Charon installation folder.

(question) It is recommended to define this parameter in case of integration with Windows shutdown

Example 1:
openconsolecmd=C:\Program Files\CHARON\Build_20203\x64\putty

Example 2:
openconsolecmd=putty

Div
classpagebreak


openconsolearg

Optional parameter defining the parameters of the openconsolecmd parameter above.

Example:
openconsolearg=-load OPA0 -P 10003

windowwidth and windowheight

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.

Example:
windowwidth=120
windowheight=50

Enabling remote connection on Tru64

To allow

...

connections from the Windows server to the Tru64 guest system without having to specify a password, the Tru64 local account's .rhosts file has to be updated

...

with the name or IP address of the Windows

...

system and the account used.

The .rhosts file contains a list of remote users who are not required to supply a login password when they use the local user account and execute the rcp, rlogin, and rsh commands (see "# man rhosts" for more).

(info) In the example below, a proxy will be created between the Windows 'administrator' account (

...

the IP address

...

of the Windows system is 10.0.0.1) and the Tru64 'root' account (the IP address of the Tru64 system

...

is 10.0.0.2).

Enabling remote connection on OpenVMS

Enable the REXEC and RSH service on OpenVMS by executing the TCPIP$CONFIG script (depending on the OpenVMS version, the script could also be called UCX$CONFIG):
