available memory for a vPar in a SD32

 Need to know if I can increase the memory for vpar1 in rac1(partiotion # 2)  and vpar2 in rac2 (partition # 3) in a SD32.

What do I need to look into "available interleaved memory"?

 

Details attached. Thanks

Re: available memory for a vPar in a SD32

from vparstatus -A found that available ILM is just 3000MB

So cannot increase our vPars memory by more than 3Gb

 

vpar1# swapinfo -tam

vpar1#

 

vg00 has 20Gb of free space.

 

There was a suggestion like this...I am not sure if this is right.. can someone comment on this please?

 

Immediate fix – these servers have insufficient swap space. The absolute minimum is swap=memory, preferred swap=2xmemory; they have 8GB swap and 12GB memory. Not good; swap reservation means in order to use 12GB memory it needs another 12GB somewhere to put the reserve. With only 8GB swap, it can only really use 10GB memory as the other 2GB has to be the reservation for the bit that won’t fit in swap!

 

Add a 32GB swap partition to each server so it can use the memory it has; this would also deal with a real memory increase if it still proves necessary.
