anis why do u want to increase the primaryswap,just review your decision

Due to the contigous allocation policy ,create a bigger LV and modifiey BDRA to make it primary
Follow the steps
1. #lvcreate -C y -L 500 /dev/vg00
notedown the name of the newly created LV
2. #lvnboot -v /dev/vg00
will display the current root and swap volumes
3. #lvnboot -s /dev/vg00/ /dev/vg00
is the LV which is created in 1st step
4. #lvnboot -R /dev/vg00
This will recover any missing links to all of the logical volumes specified in the BDRA and update the BDRA of each bootable PV in the Volume group

5.reboot

Hi Anis,

There isn't any need to increase the primary swap. Create 'secondary swap' logical volume and add it. Make the priority 0.

lvcreate -n swap2 -L -C y -r N /dev/vgxx

(Do not run 'newfs' here)

Add the following line to your /etc/fstab and run the command 'swapon -a'

/dev/vgxx/swap2 / swap defaults pri=0 0

Hi anisnadar.
I quite agree with Sridhar Bhaskarla.
No need increase primary swap space. just create the second space.
Follow him command to create.

Goodluck to you.

Sri is correct
You can try increasing the secondary swap only.
U can use this
#lvcreate -n swap2 -L -C y -r N /dev/vgxx
