set session <parameter>=<value>

hw_model

Text string, case sensitive

Virtual Alpha 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:

set session hw_model="AlphaServer_ES40"

Available models are:

AlphaServer_AS400
AlphaServer_AS800
AlphaServer_AS1000
AlphaServer_AS1000A

AlphaServer_AS1200
AlphaServer_AS2000
AlphaServer_AS2100
AlphaServer_AS4000
AlphaServer_AS4100
AlphaServer_DS10
AlphaServer_DS10L
AlphaServer_DS15
AlphaServer_DS20
AlphaServer_DS25
AlphaServer_ES40
AlphaServer_ES45
AlphaServer_GS80
AlphaServer_GS160
AlphaServer_GS320

Refer to this section to find how to set a particular HP Alpha model supported by CHARON-AXP.

configuration_name

Text string

Name of the CHARON VM (it must be unique):

set session configuration_name="MSCDV1"

  In provided templates this parameter is specified in the included configuration file "configuration_name.icfg".

The value of this parameter is used as a prefix to the event log file name (see below).

From the example above, the CHARON VM log file will have the following name:

MSCDV1-YYYY-MM-DD-hh-mm-ss-xxxxxxxxx.log

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 VM runs on the same server.

log

Text string

The log file or directory name is where the log file for this CHARON-AXP session is stored.
