CHARON-AXP supports DE435, DE450, DE500AA, DE500BA and , DE602 virtual and DE602AA virtual network adapters.

All of them are configured in a similar way:

load DE500BA/dec21x4x EWA interface=EWA0
load packet_port/chnetwrk EWA0 interface="connection:Charon"

load DE602/i8255x EIA interface=EIA0
load packet_port/chnetwrk EIA0 interface="connection:Charon"

In the example examples above the first line loads DE500BA/DE602 virtual adapter with a name "EWA"/"EIA" (note that "/i8255x" syntax must be used only in case of DE602 and DE602AA adapters); the following line maps it to host network interface having a name "Charon" ("connection" is a key word). Note that the mapping is performed in 2 steps:

  1. A mapping object "packet_port" with a name "EWA0"/"EIA0" is loaded and connected to host interface having a name "Charon", so CHARON-AXP will use this interface for its networking
  2. The loaded DE500BA virtual DE500BA/DE602 virtual adapter "EWA"/"EIA" is connected to the "packet_port" object "EWA0"/"EIA0".

It is possible to load several DE435, DE450, DE500AA, DE500BA or DE602 controllers, for example (for DE500BA): 

load DE500BA/dec21x4x EWA interface=EWA0
load packet_port/chnetwrk EWA0 interface="connection:Charon1"
load DE500BA/dec21x4x EWB interface=EWB0
load packet_port/chnetwrk EWB0 interface="connection:Charon2"

KGPSA-CA mapping to the host resources

load KGPSA FGA

#set FGA container[0] = "<file-name>.vdisk"

#set FGA container[100]="\\.\PhysicalDrive0"
#set FGA container[200]="\\.\PhysicalDrive(DevID=XXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX)"
#set FGA container[300]="\\.\PhysicalDrive(iScsiTarget = <iSCSI target>, LUN = <LUN number>)"

...

 

The first line ("load KGPSA FGA") loads disk controller KGPSA with name "FGA", followed by 2 group of lines showing different ways of mapping to the host resources:

...

Numbers in the square brackets represent KGPSA-CA units. They can be in the range 0..32766, but no more than 255 units can be configured on a single controller.

KGPSA-CA mapping to a storage controller using its "presentation" mode

...

Type of mappingDescription
storage_controller_path_id = <Storage controller path ID>

"Storage controller path ID" is a storage (for example SAN) controller path ID.

This ID can be obtained from the special utility "Host Device Check". Once specified, all the disks attached to the storage are automatically mapped as disk units to CHARON-AXP.
