This section describes how to migrate your HP Alpha system to CHARON-AXP. We will use a sample HP AlphaServer ES40 system running OpenVMS to demonstrate the migration procedure. The This chapter also contains some instructions for Tru64 UNIX, but it mainly concentrates on how to migrate OpenVMS hosts. The process is similar for all CHARON-AXP models.

| Info |
|---|
In case of Tru64 UNIX V5 running on the host system it is recommended to use the following commands to get information on the host configuration: | Command | Description |
|---|
| # # /sbin/hwmgr view devices
| Get detailed information about the host hardware configuration | # /sbin/hwmgr show scsi
| Get specific information about the host SCSI controllers and attached disks | | # # /sbin/hwmgr view hierarchy
| Get information about the host controllers |
Please reference to the Tru64 UNIX User's Guide for more details. |
The source HP Alpha peripheral configuration in this example is:
| Controller | Devices on controller | Description |
|---|
| KZPBA | -DKA0 (RZ28)
-DKA100 (RZ22)
-DKA200 (RZ23)
-MKA600 (tape) | SCSI disk/tape controller |
| KGPSA-CA | -DGA0 (RZ24) | FC disk controller |
| OPA0 |
| System console |
Acer Labs 1543C IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM adapter | -DQA0 | IDE CD-ROM controller |
| EWA0 |
| Network interface, MAC address: "F8-D1-11-00-67-E6" |

So the collected information about the HP AlphaServer ES40 system is:
...
#
# HP AlphaServer model: AlphaServer ES40 6/667
#
set session hw_model = AlphaServer_ES40
set ace cpu_architecture = EV67
set rom dsrdb[0] = 1820 system_name = "AlphaServer ES40 6/667"
...
#
# Override default System Serial Number, set it to "SN01234567"
#
set rom system_serial_number = SN01234567
#
# Specify RAM size: 512 Mb
#
set ram size=512
#
# Map OPA0 console to the xtem from which CHARON-AXP runs
#
set COM1 alias=OPA0 line=(console)
#
# Connect the emulator's DQA0 to the host's ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive.
#
set ide container="/dev/cdrom"
#
# Load optional DE500BA PCI Ethernet Adapter (EWA0) and map it to the "eth1" host network interface
#
load DE500BA/dec21x4x EWA interface=EWA0
load packet_port/chnetwrk EWA0 interface="eth1"
#
# Load DEC-KZPBA SCSI controller and map it to 3 disk containers and 1 tape container
#

set PKA container[0] = "/my_disks/bootable.vdisk"
set PKA container[100] = "/my_disks/RZ22.vdisk"
set PKA container[200] = "/my_disks/RZ23.vdisk"
set PKA container[600] = "/my_tapes/my_tape.vtape"

Making disk images
In our example, possible mappings of the KZPBA SCSI controller include disk and tape images. Tape images have not to be manually created whereas you have to provision disk images, as described below.
