[Info-vax] Alpha vms Tcpip questions

[badger007]

Hello 

its badger007 he looks strange today he has his thinking hat on. It says and i quote "I Am The Brains Of This Operation"


I think i know what the problem is i am having with the alpha vms not seeing the network. It is the emulator from charon it is how it uses the emulator in the linux version. I dont know if this is ok i am the networking part of the manual here with this post. I have changed the  /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-p6p1 script with vi to conform with the directions as i see it . I will post them here as well 


the script files first i changed it but the system wrote it back to this state that before i changed it to conform with the directions. how do i change it permitly remember i am using fedora 17 it names the ether devices differently 

the ifcfg-p6p1 network script
UUID="0061fee2-f8b2-4ca9-bb36-d498440f9c7a"
NM_CONTROLLED="yes"
BOOTPROTO=autoip
DEVICE="p6p1"
ONBOOT="yes"
TYPE=Ethernet
DEFROUTE=yes
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no
IPV6INIT=no
NAME="System p6p1"
HWADDR=50:E5:49:D7:9B:80


there is a long version of the networking section of charon's as400_freeware alpha emulator networking section

Using network with CHARON-AXP/AS400 Freeware

Make sure there is one spare network interface, which is not used by the host operating system and other host software.  The best way to do it on Fedora Core 15 – edit network card configuration script in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethN, where N is interface number,  removing all IP-setup related parameters, so finally the file should look like:

# Intel Corporation 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller

DEVICE=eth1

HWADDR=00:07:E9:17:DF:71

ONBOOT=no

Make sure also not to use this adapter in other networking daemons (see corresponding config files).

Attach to the network interface and start CHARON-AXP/AS400 Freeware:

$ CHARON_EWA0=eth1; export CHARON_EWA0

$ as400_freeware
Changing RAM size of virtual AlphaServer 400

Use CHARON_RAM_SIZE environment variable to specify desired RAM size in megabytes:

$ CHARON_RAM_SIZE=1024; export CHARON_RAM_SIZE

$ as400_freeware

If not specified with CHARON_RAM_SIZE environment variable, CHARON-AXP/AS400 Freeware creates virtual AlphaServer 400 with 256MB of RAM. Possible values for CHARON_RAM_SIZE environment variable are 256, 512, or 1024.
