new for June 2003 As of June 2003, Compressed Dump is available on Software Pack. The goal of the
Compressed Dump feature is to speed up the memory dump for HP-UX in the event of a
system crash, so that dumps are taken faster and system availability is improved. This
feature is primarily targeted for “large memory machines” running HP-UX 11i v1.
