Re: Installing swapspace
You can just add another 3GB swap space into your file system (can be on any VG, not always on VG00).
Check the url below (docID : KBAN00000218) about 'Configuring Device Swap' :
http://www1.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/docDisplay.do?docLocale=en_US&docId=200000075322187
Hope this information can help you.
Cheers,
AW

Re: Installing swapspace

http://www2.itrc.hp.com/service/james/search.do?todo=search&searchtext=extending+swap+space&from=forums&origin=0&submit.x=0&wpa=forums1.itrc.hp.com%3A80&submit.y=0&searchcategory=ALL&hpl=1&searchcriteria=allwords&rn=25&source=7000&chkServStor=on&presort=rank&esc=support.itrc.hp.com&admit=-1335382922+1135838427784+28353475
If you want you can create secondary swap and use that space too.

SolutionNote that increasing swap beyond 9-12 GB on this system will be counter productive, pulling down performance.
If the system is still under stress after this change, which requires a reboot, the next step is to purchase more memory.

Re: Installing swapspace
I agree with Steven. From your swapinfo output, you may need more physical memory than swap.

Re: Installing swapspace
To resolve out of memory issue, oracle recommends to inrease a swap space but as many guys suggests it would be counter effect and looking for another permanent solution.
