The configuration name is reported in the log file and is used to set the log file name for rotating log (see explanations further).
Changing the configuration name in the "configuration_name.icfg" file does not change the name of the virtual machine at Virtual Machines Manager level.
The "configuration_name.icfg" file can be found in the home directiory of the VM. Select the target VM, open "VM Configuration" tab and press "Explore" button.

...

The configuration name can be any label that is meaningful.

Example:

set session configuration_name = My_VAX

It is possible to specify a configuration name containing spaces, in this case use quotation marks:

Log file parameters

The execution of a CHARON VM creates one log file or a set of log files reflecting the progress of its start-up and ongoing operation: start and end time of execution, system information, license and configuration details, warnings, reports on problems that may occur, etc. In case of problems with either the running CHARON VM or the emulated system configuration (such as the absence or malfunction of certain devices), the log file is the primary source to be analyzed for troubleshooting.

...

Here is an example of a CHARON VM log file:

Auto boot

CHARON can be configured to automatically boot an operating system at start up.

...

The ROM of certain VAX models (MicroVAX II, MicroVAX 3600, MicroVAX 3900, VAXserver 3600 and VAXserver 3900) does not allow the SRM console to accept the commands to enable auto booting. In this case, a specific parameter can be defined in the configuration file as a workaround:

set bdr boot=auto

...

The CHARON-VAX 6000 models have a similar configuration setting:
