• The first part of the menu displays server information: server boot time, number of CPUs and Memory Free / Total.
• This description is valid for all menu options displaying the virtual machines list and for the "vmlist" command line.

• The second part displays the list of virtual machines (guests) managed. Column details:

  
  

  Column	Description
  Emulator	Emulator used
  Configuration File	Configuration file name (shortened).
  CPU	Displays the number of CPUs by looking for the 'model' parameter into configuration file settings and searching in a predefined file containing the list of models and cpu numbers. If no information is available, "-" is displayed instead.
  Memory	Displays the amount of memory defined in the configuration file (if defined). If no information is available, "-" is displayed instead.
  State	can be either ACTIVE, ACTIVATING, INACTIVE, DEACTIVATING, FAILED or UNKNOWN If the guest is in STOPPED state, an additional information will be displayed: REQUESTED: the service has been stopped by user request or has not been started on Linux server boot due to boot parameter set to off FAILURE: the guest process failed	OnB	Displays the automatic boot on server startup value, YES or NO. This means the Charon virtual machine will be started. To automatically boot the virtual machine on startup, please refer to the Charon-PAR and console settings. The column name can be also "OnBoot" in some screenshots

• Depending on settings and virtual machine state, more information can be displayed

  • Emulator
  • Description
  • Auto-restart settings. This feature is managed by systemd and described in the Tips and Tricks chapter.
  • Service start and/or stop timeouts
  • Description
  • and Start on boot. Start on boot value means the Charon virtual machine will be started on Linux server boot but not necessarily booted. To automatically boot the virtual machine on startup, please refer to the Charon-PAR and console settings.
  • Start/stop date if available
  • Stop script - Displays the status of the stop script used to perform a clean shutdown of the guest. Can be:
    • Not found: the script has not been created. If not found, a service stop request will induce a kill of the emulator process
    • To customize: the script exists and a case line has been added for the specified configuration file. It must however be customized with some commands to perform a clean shutdown of the guest (HP-UX or MPE/iX virtual machine).
      For more information and examples, see VM management - Create/Edit guest stop script
    • Case not set : the script exists but does not relate to the specified configuration file. This means it has either been created manually or initialized automatically by the menu and a new guest has been added after initialization.
    • [Using XXX] where XXX can be EXPECT, RSH or SSH: the script exists and a case line has been added for the specified configuration file and it uses the shutdown scripts provided with the kit
    • Customized : a customized script or command lines is/are used
  • Protected against Out Of Memory Killer (OOM Killer)
  • Pre-start script if defined (the 3 first lines are displayed)
  • Console port
  • Guest OS response (optional, see Service management - Create/Edit guest stop script / Optional guest display status script)
  • The license status is displayed in case of events: communication lost/restored, license found, ...
  • Network Interfaces settings with some checks performed. A NIC displayed followed by a number between parenthesis means an issue has been discovered: (1)=NIC does not exist, (2)=NIC is not managed by ncu (if installed), (3)=NIC is already used, (4)=NIC has an IP address.

• A star besides the emulator name means next commands lines like vmstop, vmcfg and vmconsole will use this virtual machine if no other one is specified.
• If Auto-restart needs to be set for this service, please read the Tips and Tricks chapter.
• "Description" and "Service Timeouts" are defined at service level. This is described here: VM management - Install, update or manage serviceManage 'systemd' services.
• "Guest OS answer" is based on an optional script performing an ssh connection to the HP-UX system. This is described here: VM management - Create/Edit guest stop script. If the guest OS response returns error code 255, this means the legacy system is not booted or there is a network problem.
