Need to increase swap space - Help
I have HP9000 K380 with HP-UX 11.0 32 bit.
The current swap information:
using swapinfo -tam
Mb Mb Mb PCT START/ Mb
TYPE AVAIL USED FREE USED LIMIT RESERVE PRI NAME
dev 1024 116 908 11% 0 - 1 /dev/vg00/lvol2
dev 976 117 859 12% 0 - 1 /dev/vg00/swap1
reserve - 1741 -1741
total 2000 1974 26 99% - 0 -
Question:
How can I increase size on /dev/vg00/swap1.
what commands and in which order?

Re: Need to increase swap space - Help
Why do you want to increase swap1 ?
Just go in SAM and add a new logical volume for swap on the same VG.

Re: Need to increase swap space - Help
Your device swap spaces are not 50% yet, they are not used up as shown. You have to activate swapmem_on=1 from the kernel parameter configuration in SAM. This will give you pseudo swap of 75% of Physical Memory size.

Re: Need to increase swap space - Help
You cant increase a swap area thats currently in use, as is swap1. You can either;
1. disable swap1. reboot. increase swap1 (lvextend). re-enable swap1, activate it (swapon -a)
2. Without any reboots add a new swap area. create the lvol as normal, then do swapon -a to activate it.
Why would you want to increase swap1 though ? its barely used, as is primary swap (lvol2) ?
