CHARON-VAX for Linux configuration details

Introduction

This chapter describes in detail all configuration parameters of the devices emulated by CHARON-VAX for Linux, with corresponding examples of their loading and parameters.

Emulated devices are loaded with "load" command (if device has not been already loaded) and parameters are made active the "set"command. It is possible to specify parameters directly in the "load" command.

Example:

load RQDX3/RQDX3 DUA
set DUA container[0]="/charon/disks/user.vdisk"

In this example, an instance of an RQDX3 controller is loaded with a name "DUA". Its first unit ("container[0]") is mapped to "/charon/disks/user.vdisk" disk image.

The Controller name is accompanied with a "/<module name>". The module name is a CHARON-VAX component that specifies the controller load module. Its name can be the same as the loaded controller, however this is not mandatory. Once a module name is specified there is no need to specify it again for additional references of the same controller..
