| Type of mapping | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| "<file-name>.vdisk" | Mapping to files representing physical disks of the HP Alpha system (disk images). | ||
| "/dev/sd<L>" | Mapping to physical disk. "L" is letter here. These disks must not be formatted by the host OS.
| ||
"/dev/dm-<N>" | Mapping to multipath disk.  Be careful not to destroy all the information from the disk dedicated to CHARON-AXP by mistake. These disks must not be formatted by the host OS. | ||
| "/dev/disk/by-*" | Mapping to physical disk.
These disks must not be formatted by the host OS. | ||
| "/dev/sg<N>" | Direct mapping to some SCSI device, for example, a SCSI disk or tape reader. How to find proper "/dev/sg" device is explined in this section. | ||
"/dev/sr<N>" | Mapping to host CD-ROM device. | ||
| "<file-name>.iso" | Mapping to an ISO file for reading distribution CD-ROM image. Mapping may also include the full path (recommended), for example: "/my_disks/vms_distributive.iso" | ||
| "<file-name>.vtape" | Mapping to the file representing the tape (tape image). These files are created automatically. Mapping may also include a full path (recommended), for example: "/my_tapes/backup.vtape" |
It is also possible to use not a whole disk, but previously created partitions on it. In this case the syntax is the following: "/dev/sd<L><N>" where N is the number of partition to be used. ...

| "<file-name>.vdisk" | Mapping to the file representing a physical disk of the HP Alpha system (disk image). These files can be created from scratch with "mkdskcmd" utility. Data and OS disk backups are transferred from the original system via tapes or network and restored into these container files. Mapping may also include the full path (recommended), for example: "/my_disks/my_boot_disk.vdisk" | |||
| "/dev/sd<L>" | Mapping to physical disk. "L" is letter here These disks must not be formatted by the host OS.

| "/dev/dm-<N>" "/dev/mapper/mpath<N>" "/dev/mapper/disk<N>" | Mapping to multipath disk. Be careful not to destroy all the information from the disk dedicated to CHARON-AXP by mistake. These disks must not be formatted by the host OS. | |||
| "/dev/disk/by-*" | Mapping to physical disk.
These disks must not be formatted by the host OS. |
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.
