CHARON-VAX symbolic links

Each model of CHARON-VAX has a symbolic link defined to point to the corresponding CHARON executable (see the table below). If the PATH is correctly defined, you can start a virtual machine by specifying the link followed by the configuration file. This is described further.

Running CHARON-VAX emulators

It is possible to run one or several instances of CHARON-VAX at the same time if your license allows it.

For multiple instances, please use only absolute paths and unique names to all the files referenced in the configuration file of each CHARON-VAX instance (log, toy clock, nvram files and all the other data such as disk images - all these objects will be explained later; at this stage just pay attention to the files specified in the configuration file) and check the hardware devices are used by only one instance at a time (not shared).

Example:

...
set session log="/charon_instances/first/mv3k6.log"
set toy container="/charon_instances/first/mv3k6.dat"

load RQDX3/RQDX3 DUA
set DUA container[0]="/charon_instances/first/mv3k6_boot_disk.vdisk"
... 

Please refer to the next chapters for more details concerning CHARON-VAX configuration details.
