VAX model specification
The first configuration statement is the specification of the exact VAX hardware model to emulate.
...
If you create the CHARON-VAX configuration file from scratch, it must be the very first uncommented line in the configuration file.
...
Configuration name
The next configuration statement is the "Configuration name" option.
...
You can optionally uncomment this line to differentiate this CHARON-VAX instance from all others in a multi-instances environment. The configuration name can be any label that is meaningful. It is reported in the log file and is used to set the log file name for rotating log (see further: Rotating log (default)).

Log file parameters
Execution of CHARON-VAX 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 possible problems either with the running CHARON-VAX or the emulated system configuration (such as the absence or malfunction of certain devices), the log file(s) is the primary source to be analyzed for troubleshooting. If it becomes necessary to contact Stromasys for support, the configuration and log files, plus the license number, will be requested to begin problem resolution.

Rotating log (default)By default CHARON-VAX utilizes a so called "rotating log" mechanism. This means that a new default log file is created each time CHARON starts and can switch to another log file if the size of the log file exceeds 64Kb (this behavior can be changed with the "set session log_file_size" and "set session log_rotation_period" parameters; see more details in the "General Settings" chapter of this guide).

Note there are a number of additional parameters for CHARON-VAX serial line configuration. Follow this link for details.
Exit on pressing F6 key
A hot key can be defined to stop the execution of the CHARON-VAX virtual machine:

load RQDX3 DUA
#set DUA container[0]="<file-name>.vdisk"
#set DUA container[1]="/dev/sdN"

The first line ("load RQDX3 DUA") loads disk controller RQDX3 with name DUA, followed by 4 lines showing different ways of mapping to the host resources:

SCSI controller NCR53C94
The VAX 4000 and MicroVAX 3100 have an NCR53C94 SCSI controller onboard for support of different types of SCSI devices including disks and tapes. Optionally a second controller can be added.
...
Note that versions of VAX/VMS older than 5.5-2H4 do not support the optional SCSI controller and might fail to boot if it is loaded.
Follow this link for details of NCR53C94 SCSI controller controllers configuration.

CHARON supports VLAN adapters. If used, proceed with their installation and configuration according to the network adapter vendor User's Guide and then use the resulting VLAN interface the same way as the regular network interface. |
