Charon-PAR Model Names
PA-RISC Model Names Used by Charon-PAR/PA9
Charon-PAR/PA9-64 Details
The model names of Charon-PAR emulated historic PA-RISC systems for HP-UX consist of three parts:
<family-name>-<number-of-cpus>-<clock-speed>
Parameters:
family-name describes the model family, e.g., rp2400,
number-of-cpus describes the number of emulated CPUs, and
clock-speed describes the CPU clock frequency in MHz.
Example:
rp2470-2-750 stands for an rp2470 model with two 750-MHz CPUs.
Abbreviations are possible, e.g,, rp2470-1 stands for an rp2470-1-750 model. See configuration file templates for permitted abbreviations.
PA9-32 Details
Currently, there is only one 32-bit model:
The PA9-32/720 (PA-RISC v1.1a) with single CPU at 50MHz, model string: "7000-720"
PA-RISC Model Names Used by Charon-PAR/PA3
The model names of Charon-PAR emulated historic PA-RISC systems for MPE/iX consist of three parts:
<family-name>-<number-of-cpus>-<clock-speed>
Parameters:
family-name describes the model family, e.g., A400,
number-of-cpus describes the number of emulated CPUs multiplied by 100, and
clock-speed describes the CPU clock frequency in MHz.
Example:
A400-100-110 is a single-CPU A400 system running at 110 MHz.
Device Addressing Terminology
In the following sections, an important part of the hardware configuration of an emulated model are the so called device paths.
A device path has the following structure: SBA/LBA/device-number/function[.target.LUN]. These components have the following meaning:
SBA: system bus adapter
LBA: local bus adapter
Device number: identification of an individual device (e.g., and Ethernet card).
Function: identification of a particular unit of functionality (e.g., one Ethernet port or one SCSI bus) on a specific device. There can be up to four functions per device.
Target: optional further identification. Its use depends on the type of device connected. For example, a SCSI target ID.
LUN: logical unit number of SCSI devices (e.g., disks and tapes). Used to address a logical unit associated with a SCSI target ID.
Examples:
SBA 0, LBA 0, device number 1, function 0 results in a device path of 0/0/1/0
SBA 0, LBA 2, device number 1, function 1 results in a device path of 0/2/1/1
SBA 0, LBA 0, device number 1, function 0, SCSI target ID 1, LUN 0 results in a device path of 0/0/1/0.1.0
Charon-PAR/PA9-64 - Supported 64-bit Model Configurations
