Please note: All Linux and HP-UX sample commands in this section are performed as the root user (prompt = #). This may not be necessary for all commands in all environments depending on the local permission settings. The commands can be executed on the Charon host graphical console or via a non-graphical login (e.g., SSH). However, for accessing the running emulator, the use of PuTTY is strongly recommended because it works best with the emulator environment.
The Charon-PAR/PA9-32 functionality of Charon-PAR emulates historic 32-bit PA-RISC hardware. This section shows a sample installation of a 32-bit guest system.

HP-UX ISO Installation Medium
To install a basic HP-UX system running as a guest system in an emulator instance, you need to provide an HP-UX ISO installation medium.
Charon-PAR/PA9-32 for the model 720 currently supports HP-UX 9.05, 9.07, 10.20, and 11.00. The installation procedure for versions 10.20 and 11.00 is very similar to the one for Charon-PAR/PA9-64. However, the procedure for the older HP-UX versions can be quite different. Hence, 9.07 is used for this example. For this version of HP-UX, two ISO files are required:
...
Copy the ISO files to the directory you prepared for the disk containers of your emulated instance.

Creating a Virtual Disk Container for the System Disk
...
Step | Command | |
---|---|---|
1 | Change to the directory where you store your virtual disks. | # cd /data/Stromasys/host1/Data/Disk/ |
2 | Create an empty disk container. Note that the actual size of the disk will depend on the requirements of your emulated system. The disk name shown is just an example. Please note: HP-UX 9.07 allows a maximum root disk size of 2GB. The number of blocks should be a multiple of 512. | With

Adapting the Configuration File Template
The configuration file template must be adapted to the customer environment and the required guest system characteristics. This section describes the minimum number of changes required to configure a Charon-PAR/PA9-32 emulator instance. Please refer to Configuration File Reference for a detailed description of the configuration file options.
...
Step | Description | |
---|---|---|
1 | Create a copy of the configuration file template. | Example:
|
2 | Open the configuration file in a text editor. |
or
|
3 | Configure the system model. | model "720" Configured model must be covered by your license. |
4 | Configure the RAM for the emulated system (in MB). | memory 64 |
5 | Configure the serial console for telnet via PuTTY. | Use the method 2 of the serial line section in the configuration file and make sure the definition of the asp.uart0.device is:
|
6 | Configure disk 1 (system disk). | Change definition of DKA0 to:
|
7 | Add a definition for disk 2 (ISO file) or (if it already exists) modify the definition to point to your ISO installation file for the mini-system (the install disk). |
|
8 | Configure a network card based on a physical host NIC. This NIC is dedicated to the guest operating system and cannot be used for network communication by the host system. To share an interface, a virtual bridge would have to be used (see Ethernet configuration sections in this document). | In the configuration file template, comment out the dummy interface and the tap interface configuration. Then uncomment the interface configuration of the physical interface example. Change the definition of EWA0 to the interface that is assigned to the emulated system (example: eth1) and disable the offload parameters for the interface:
Please note: Depending on the capabilities of the Ethernet device, not all offload parameters maybe be available. This will create a warning message. The variable IFACE is set by the system before executing the initialize command. For cloud environments, please note:
|
9 | Save the configuration file. |

Starting the Emulated System and Installing the Guest System
...
Starting with Charon-PAR version 3.0.5 this will, by default, automatically stop the emulator when it detects that the operating system has been halted. See the system.stop_on_halt parameter in the Configuration File Reference. If the emulator is not stopped automatically, continue with step 2 below.
