The RamDisc Classic package allows you to:
  • Create a ramdisc filesystem during the system boot-up sequence.
  • Copy data from various pathnames to the ramdisc during system startup.
  • Deallocate or resize ramdisc filesystem without a system reboot.
  • Run the ramdisc backup program at user determined intervals.

    System Requirements:
  • Hewlett-Packard 9000 series 700/800 or Itanium series
  • HP-UX 9.05 up to 11.20 [11i  v1.5] operating system ¹
  • Additional memory above current system requirements

    ¹   704MB is the maximum memory amount that can be allocated for 32bit operating systems.
          2  GB is the maximum memory amount that can be allocated for 64bit operating systems.

    Please note: This software package has been replaced by RamDisc Plus.
    Even though RamDisc Classic is still supported,  it is only intended to be used by
    systems still booting HP-UX 9.05 - 10.10 or other special circumstances.
