Utility | Description |
---|---|
mkdskcmd | Used to create CHARON virtual disk containers of custom or standard types. This utility also may be used to transfer virtual disks of one type to virtual disks of another type. |
hasp_srm_view | Used to display the CHARON license contents, to collect the host system fingerprint and to transfer software licenses from one host to another. |
hasp_update | Sentinel standard utility used to retrieve Sentinel protection key information, detache a license from a Sentinel SL key and rehost a license from a Sentinel SL key |
ncu | Used to dedicate a host interface to CHARON-VAX, to release it back to the host and to manage CHARON virtual interfaces (TAPs). |
mtd | Used to create CHARON tape images from physical tapes and to write tape images back to physical tapes. |
All these utilities are invoked from Linux console command line.
...
$ mkdskcmd --disk rz22 --output rz22.vdisk |
A disk container "rz22.vdisk" will be created in the current directory.
Info |
---|
A file "rz22.avdisk" will also be created. This file helps CHARON accurately recognize a specific disk image type. It is recommended to put the ".avdisk" file in the same directory as the created disk image. |
...
|
The "--avtable" parameter is used to work with an alternative disk specification database (or to point to the standard database ("mkdsk.vtable") if it is in a location other than the current directory).
The "--blcount" (blocks count) and "--blsize" (blocks size) switches are used to create custom disk images.
...
Info |
---|
If a source disk image is larger than the target disk image, the extra data is lost. If the source disk image is smaller, it will be extended and padded with null bytes ('\0'). |
An example of the syntax follows:
$ mkdskcmd --transfer <source disk file name> <source disk parameters> [--shrink] [-k] |
...
<source disk file name> - a file name of the disk image to be transferred
<source disk parameters> - the name of the disk from the list of available on "mkdskcmd --list" request or the disk geometry specification (see below).
- --shrink or -k - used in the case when the target disk is transferred to a smaller disk.
$ mkdskcmd --transfer /etc/rz22.vdisk rz25 |
$ mkdskcmd --transfer <source disk file name> -blsize <number> -blcount <number> |
$ mkdskcmd -t /etc/custom.vdisk -z 512 -c 262134 |
...
$ mtd [options] <tape device name> <tape container name> |

where the options are:
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
-l <file name> | Creates an execution log “file name”. |
-r <number> | Specifies a number of attempts to read a damaged data bock |
-i | Directs to ignore bad blocks and continue processing w/o interruption. It implies "-r 0" |
-n | Do not rewind tape |
-p | Disable progress reporting |
-v | Enable verbose trace of data transfer (implies "-p") |
Example:
$ mtd -l tape1.txt -r 10 /dev/st5 /charon/tapes/tape1.vtape |
Use the following syntax to write the content of a tape container to a physical tape:
$ mtd <tape container name> <tape device name> |
Example:
$ mtd /charon/tapes/tape1.vtape /dev/st5 |
...
- "-l" (or without parameters) - CHARON default license details
- "-all" - all available CHARON licenses details
- "-key <key number>" - specific CHARON license (defined by its "key number") details
The "hasp_srm_view" utility provides the following functionality:
- Display the CHARON-AXP licenses details. It is possible to view all available license or some specific one.
- Collecting license status information
- Collecting host fingerprint information
- Managing software license transfer procedure.
...
Remote collection of status information
For remote collection of status information it is recommended to use "ssh" as shown in the following examples:
# ssh root@CHARON_HOST /opt/charon/bin/hasp_srm_view -c2v /opt/charon/bin/my_hasp_key.c2v # ssh root@CHARON_HOST /opt/charon/bin/hasp_srm_view -fgp /opt/charon/bin/my_host_fingerprint.c2v |
To see the license text on the console:
# ssh root@localhost /opt/charon/bin/hasp_srm_view |
...
Run "hasp_srm_view" utility on the "RecipientHost" with the following parameters to collect the host ID info:
$ hasp_srm_view -idf
The "recipient.id" file will be created in the current directory.
Copy the "recipient.id" file to the "SourceHost".
Info "recipient.id" is an ASCII file, so use the "ascii" option for FTP transfer.
On the "SourceHost", open the "Sentinel Admin Control Center" (ACC) ( http://localhost:1947). Note the number of the software license you are going to transfer.
Run the "hasp_srm_view" utility in the following way to create a transfer license for the host "RecipientHost":
$ hasp_srm_view -tfr <license number> recipient.id
The "license number" is the value collected at the step 3.
Example of collecting a transfer license:
$ hasp_srm_view
-tfr 12345678
recipient.id
A "<license number>.v2c" file will be created in the current directory. In the example above, the name of the transfer license will be "12345678.v2c"
Div class pagebreak Copy Copy the resulting "<license number>.v2c" file to the "RecipientHost".
Info "<license number>.v2c" is an ASCII file, so use the "ascii" option for FTP transfer.
On On the "RecipientHost", open "Sentinel Admin Control Center" (ACC) (http://localhost:1947) and apply the "<license number>.v2c" file as described above.
...
Open "Sentinel Admin Control Center" (ACC) (http://localhost:1947). Note the number of the software license you are going to remove.
Run the "hasp_srm_view" utility in the following way to remove the license:
$ hasp_srm_view -tfr <license number>
The "license number" is the value collected at the step 1.
Example:
$ hasp_srm_view -tfr 12345678
The "<license number>.v2c" file will then be created in the current directory. In the example above the name of the transfer license will be "12345678.v2c"
It is always possible to re-apply the created ".v2c" file to restore the deleted software license.

The utility allocates chosen network interfaces (both physical and virtual) and configures the offload parameters.
Note |
---|
The NetworkManager service must be running in order to have all the functionalities enabled with "ncu". If the service is not enabled please configure the network using the manual operations described in the section "Manual configuration of CHARON networking" of the Installation chapter of this Guide. |
