Hard Disk Emulation and PrimoCache

Hello,

The mount option for Hard Disk Emulation is not working with primo-cache. It sees the drive, formats it, but is unable to write any data to the drive. Checked a few different ram disk solutions besides soft perfect and they worked fine. What hard disk emulation is applied? SCSI, etc.

(I have not included the names of the other solutions as i am not 100% sure what the forum rules are for this)

It's fine to mention whatever products

What exactly are you trying to achieve? Use a RAM disk as a level-2 storage?

Use level 2 ram disk only as this allows keeping history of most used bits and quick loads times even after a reboot. Do not care about the system load time just the performance once login.

It doesn't work indeed, but I guess I don't understand something about PrimoCache.

Why doesn't it use a RAM disk internally as an L2 storage?

Looks like it has to be physical medium.

PrimoCache does support ram as a L1 cache but does not keep the data after a reboot, as they want quick start-up times. I do not care if it takes 5mins to start up only that it is fast after it is fully loaded. I tested a few other ram disks and they worked fine even Primo Ramdisk (VSuite Ramdisk II), using SCSI RAM disk.

Hello Andrew,

Have you had time to look into why Hard Disk Emulation is not working completely with PrimoCache? What method does your emulation use SCSI?

Thank you.

Sorry, it's unclear with PrimoCache isn't working with our RAM Disk. It does not use SCSI emulation, so that may be the reason.
