A string containing the device name to map to the emulator.

• Disk images
  • "\\.\PhysicalDrive<X>", where X is 0, 1, …
  • [<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").

  • "\\.\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 class small set pka_1 container="\\.\PhysicalDrive(DevID=

    XXXX

    6008-

    XXXX

    05F3-

    XXXX

    0005-

    XXXX

    2950-

    XXXX

    BF8E-

    XXXX

    0B86-

    XXXX

    A0C7-

    XXXX

    0001)"

    DevID addresses the target physical disk by its WWID (hexadecimal 128-bit identifier assigned to the disk drive by its manufacturer/originator).

    Example:

    Div
    class small
    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:

    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
  • "\\.\PhysicalDrive(iScsiTarget = <iSCSI target>, LUN = <LUN number>)"
    

    iScsiTarget addresses the disk by its iSCSI target name. LUN specifies LUN on connected iSCSI disk. 

    Example:

    Div class small set pka_2 container="\\.\PhysicalDrive(iScsiTarget= iqn.2008-04:iscsi.charon-target-test1, LUN= 1)"

    .

This parameter is initially not set, thus creating NO storage elements on the controller

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\CHARON\Build_XXXXX\x86" (Windows x64; for Windows x86 the path is "C:\Program Files\CHARON\Build_XXXXX\x86").x86").
