Swap space problem
I'm getting message "swap space below 10 percent free", whereas the output of swapon -s
is,
# swapon -s
Swap partition /dev/vol/rootdg/swapvol (default swap):
Allocated space: 255936 pages (1999MB)
In-use space: 22669 pages ( 8%)
Free space: 233267 pages ( 91%)
This show 91% swap space is free.
Pl. guide me how to resolve this issue.
Thanks

Re: Swap space problem
If you do not have free disk space you will have to install new disk or repartition one of existing disks. After that you add this to the system. On V4.0x you put entry in /etc/fstab (for example: swap2 ...... /dev/rz5a). On V5.x you add entry in /etc/sysconfigtab (for example: swapdevice=/dev/vol/rootdg/swapvol, /dev/disk/dsk2b). After that you type:
# swapon -a
and additional space will be added.
That would fix "swap space below 10 percent free". But you also think about that you will have to add some RAM (physical) memory because your system is swaping a lot and it makes your system very slow.

Re: Swap space problem
What you said is absolutly correct, but see the output of swapon -s pasted above, it show 91% of spaw is free, it means swap is not being used.
