When starting, the CHARON-VAX software checks the available number of host CPU cores. Currently, this check is based on the maximum number of VAX CPUs that can be emulated, not on the number of the actually configured VAX CPUs. Therefore the number of host CPU cores recommended for the maximum number of emulated CPUs - as shown in the right column of the table above - must be available. If the available number of host CPU cores is below this number, CHARON-VAX will issue a warning message even if the requirements for the configured number of VAX CPUs are fulfilled. The CHARON-VAX software will work despite this warning if the requirements for the configured number of VAX CPUs are fulfilled.

Note

Hyper-threading must be switched off completely. Disable hyper-threading in the BIOS settings of the physical host or, for a VMware virtual machine, edit the virtual machine properties, select the Resources tab then select Advanced CPU. Set the Hyper-threaded Core Sharing mode to None.

Info

Starting with ESXi 6.5, it is not possible to select E1000 adapter when a new virtual machine is created using Windows Server 2012 and 2016 templates.

The following workarounds are avaibleavailable:

  • import Import the virtual machine from an older version of ESXi
  • do not select Windows Server 2012 or 2016 Do not select "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (64-bit)" nor "CentOS 7 (64-bit)" during virtual machine creation but "Windows 10/64bit" or "Other/Other 64bit" for exampleselect "Linux" as "Guest OS family" and "Other 3.x Linux (64-bit)" as Guest OS version".

Removing licenses can be done by physical disconnection of the corresponding USB HASP keys from CHARON host and physical disconnection of the network HASP keys from all hosts on the local network (or by disabling remote access to network licenses from the CHARON host - see detailed explanations below).

For license servers accessible only via non-broadcast search it is also possible to disable access to network licenses if only a local license is to be used: Click on the "Configuration" link to open the "Configuration for Sentinel Manager" page.

Uncheck the "Allow Access to Remote Licenses" checkbox from the "Access to Remote License Managers" tab then press the "Submit" button to apply changes.

  1. Ensure your license allows you to upgrade to that version. If not, please generate a C2V file and send it to STROMASYS for update. See CHARON-VAX for Linux utilities - 'hasp_srm_view' utility
  2. Prepare the new kit RPM files as it is described in "Before installation" and "DistributionpreparationDistribution preparation" sections.
  3. Stop all running CHARON-VAX instances.
  4. Make sure that no template files (i.e. "mv3k6.cfg.template") have been used for your specific configuration otherwise copy those files to a dedicated folder.
  5. Login as "root" user.
  6. Remove the old CHARON-VAX version as described in the "CHARON-VAX for Linux deinstallation" chapter.
  7. Proceed with the same instructions on the new kit installation as described in the "Installation" section.

  8. Install the license for the new CHARON-VAX as described in the "License installation" section.

  9. Start all the CHARON-VAX services stopped at step #3.
