#set session log = "AlphaServer_ES40.log"

...

Reducing number of emulated CPUs

If the CHARON host contains does not contain enough CPUs to emulate full range of the CPUs provided by a certain HP Alpha model, it is possibe possible to direct CHARON-AXP to reduce the number of emulated Alpha CPUs in the configuration:

set session n_of_cpus=1

This parameter can also be used to avoid warning messages in the log if the number of CPUs allowed by the license is less than the default number of CPUs of the emulated HP Alpha model.

OptionDescription
line

Mapping to host serial line, both physical and virtual. Use the following mapping for different types of host serial lines:

MappingDescription
/dev/tty<N> Virtual serial lines
/dev/ttyS<N>Onboard serial lines
/dev/ttyUSB<N>Modem or usb serial lines adapters
(console)Mapping to the current TTY console


Note

The specific account for running CHARON ("charon") does not allow the usage of physical consoles, "/dev/tty<N>", as CHARON consoles. If you plan to map the CHARON console to "/dev/tty<N>", use only the "root" account to run CHARON.


port

Mapping to an IP port of the CHARON -VAX host.
Using this mapping it is possible to connect to the CHARON -VAX console and disconnect from it at any time.

applicationStarting some application (typically another xterm terminal) with its specific options and switches to communicate to CHARON using the IP port defined by the "port" parameter (see above)
aliasDefine some meaningful name for "COM1" and "COM2". Usually it is "OPA0" for "COM1" and "TTA0" for "COM2" (see below)

...

Info
CHARON supports VLAN adapters. If used, proceed with their installation and configuration according to the network adapter vendor User's Guide and then use the resulting VLAN interface the same way as the regular network interface. 


Note

The AlphaServer DS 15 DS15 and DS25 contain two built-in PCI Ethernet adapters. Models and names (EI* or EW*) of them depend on configuration addon. Choose one of the two or none, but not both. The first instantiates onboard network interfaces as EIA and EWA. While the second - EWA and EWB (enabled by default for backward compatibility)

Example:

#include ds25-onboard-nics.icfg
include ds25-onboard-nics-ew.icfg

(info) It could be necessary to specify the path to the .icfg file if you use your own configuration file using the "include /opt/charon/cfg/ds25-onboard-nics-ew.icfg" syntax.
