About this Guide

Purpose of this Document

This document covers Charon-PAR version 3.0 (version 3.0.6 and higher). For other versions, please refer to the relevant documentation of your product version.

This user's guide covers all aspects of selecting a suitable environment (hardware and software) to run the Charon-PAR emulator. It also describes all tasks involved with installing, configuring, and running the Charon-PAR emulator.

The following topics are not covered by this guide:

  • While this document will cover guest system specific configuration aspects where required, it does not cover the management of the guest system (MPE/iX and HP-UX).
  • It also does not cover the migration of a physical PA-RISC system to an emulated system. If you require migration support, please contact your Stromasys representative or a Stromasys partner.

Product naming conventions:

  • Charon-PAR: general name for this Charon emulator product.
  • Charon-PAR/PA3: functionality of the Charon-PAR product emulating historic PA-RISC systems for MPE/iX.
  • Charon-PAR/PA9-64 and Charon-PAR/PA9-32: functionality of the Charon-PAR product emulating historic PA-RISC systems for HP-UX. Here, PA9-64 denotes the 64-bit emulator, PA9-32 the 32-bit emulator.
