The following table describes all available "session" parameters, their meaning and examples of their usage:
hw_model
Parameter | hw_model | |
---|---|---|
Type | Text string | |
Value | Virtual VAX/PDP11 system hardware model to be emulated. Use a default configuration template for each particular model as a starting point for a custom configuration. This would ensure that the parameter is set correctly. Example:
Available models are:
|
configuration_name
Parameter | configuration_name | ||
---|---|---|---|
Type | Text string | ||
Value | Name of the CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP instance (it must be unique):
The value of this parameter is used as a prefix to the event log file name (see below). From the example above, the CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP log file will have the following name:
xxxxxxxxx is an increasing decimal number starting from 000000000 to separate log files with the same time of creation (in case the log is being written faster than one log file per second). It is strictly recommended to use the "configuration_name" parameter if more than one CHARON instance runs on the same server. |

Type | Text String | |||||
Value | In case the CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP license connection is not present when the guest starts up, this parameter specifies how many times the CHARON VM will try to establish the connection and, optionally, a period of time between retries. Syntax:
Options:
Example 1:
If the license key is not found during initial scan, only one more attempt after 60 seconds is performed. Example 2:
Same as above but retry in 30 seconds. Example 3:
If the license key is not found during initial scan, do 3 more attempts waiting 10 seconds between them. Example 4:
If the license key is not found during the initial scan, do 5 more attempts waiting 60 seconds between them. |

File inclusion
It is possible to include a configuration file into an existing one using the "include
" command. The file extension is usually .icfg
.
...
The configuration template files are defined to use the "configuration_name.icfg" configuration file which is used by the CHARON Virtual Machines Manager. If you use an existing configuration file, including this file is not necessary.
