Introduction
CHARON-VAX provides two SCSI controllers for the SCSI and SCSI/QBUS models of VAX.
...
CHARON-VAX/XX has only one preloaded SCSI adapter, named: PKA. If a second adapter (PKB) is required then add the following line to the configuration file before loading and configuring any device on the second SCSI adapter PKB:
"kzdda.cfgicfg" loads the second SCSI adapter.

| Parameter | container[N] N=0…7 |
|---|
| Type | Text String |
|---|
| Value | A string containing the device name to map to the emulator. - Disk images
- [<path-name>"\"]<file-name>[".vdisk"]
Format: A string containing the full path to a disk container. If only the name of the disk container is specified, CHARON-VAX will look for the container in the folder where the emulator executable resides, typically "C:\Program Files (x86)\CHARON\Build_XXXXX\x86" (Windows x64; for Windows x86 the path is "C:\Program Files\CHARON\Build_XXXXX\x86"). | Warning |
|---|
Using compressed folders to store virtual disks and tapes is not supported |
.
- Local fixed disks (IDE, SATA)
- "\\.\PhysicalDrive<X>", where X is 0, 1, …
- "\\.\PhysicalDrive(DevID =XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX)"
DevID addresses the target physical disk by its WWID (hexadecimal 128-bit identifier assigned to the disk drive by its manufacturer/originator). Example:
| Div |
|---|
| set pka_1 container="\\.\PhysicalDrive(DevID= 6008-05F3-0005-2950-BF8E-0B86-A0C7-0001)"
|
|
.The WWID values can be obtained from "Host Device Check" utility ("All drives" section) ", for example:  Image Added
| Note |
|---|
If "Host Device Check" utility does not display WWID value it means that the target disk does not have it. Use the "\\.\PhysicalDrive<N>" mapping in this case. |
- iSCSI disks
This parameter is initially not set, thus creating NO storage elements on the controller |

| Parameter | container[N] N=0…7 |
|---|
| Type | Text String |
|---|
| Value | A string containing the full path to a tape container. If the specified tape image does not exist, CHARON-VAX creates it. If only the name of the tape container is specified, CHARON-VAX will look for the container in the folder where the emulator executable resides, typically "C:\Program Files (x86)\CHARON\Build_XXXXX\x86" (Windows x64; for Windows x86 the path is "C:\Program Files (x86)\CHARON\Build_XXXXX\x86" (Windows x64; for Windows x86 the path is "C:\Program Files\CHARON\Build_XXXXX\x86").\CHARON\Build_XXXXX\x86").
| Warning |
|---|
If the "CHARON Guest Utilities for OpenVMS" (CHARONCP) package is used there is a possibility not to specify the exact tape container on CHARON start since it can be specified later using the package. In this case the syntax is: load virtual_scsi_tape/chscsi pka_0 scsi_bus=pka scsi_id=0
set pka_0 container[0]=".vtape"

Using compressed folders to store virtual disks and tapes is not supported |

...
In the table above N stands for logical unit number. The first unit must be 0 with no gaps in subsequent numbering.

Example:
load virtual_scsi_tape/chscsi pka_0 scsi_bus=pka scsi_id=0
set pka_0 container[0] = "C:\Charon\Tapes\tape1.vtape"
set pka_0 container[1] = "C:\Charon\Tapes\tape2.vtape"

| Parameter | container[N] N=0…7 |

| Type | Text String |
|---|
| Value | A string containing the device name to map to the emulator. - Physical tape drives recognized by Windows
- "\\.\Tape<X>", where X is 0, 1, …
.
Physical tape drives and other SCSI devices not recognized by Windows - Tape changer
This - Changer<X>", where X is 0, 1, …
.
