Without OnlineJFS, it is unlikely you will be able to enlarge /tmp online. The procedure goes like this (taken from the man page for lvextend):

Increase the size of a file system existing on a logical volume.

First, increase the size of the logical volume.

lvextend -L 400 /dev/vg06/lvol3

Unmount the file system.


umount /dev/vg06/lvol3

Extend the file system to occupy the entire (larger) logical volume.

extendfs /dev/vg06/rlvol3

Remount the file system.

mount /dev/vg06/lvol3 /mnt

This will need to be done in single user mode.

Swap is easier. You can add an additional logical volume of appropriate size, then enable it using the swapon command. You will also want to add it to /etc/fstab, marking it as swap. See the man pages for swapon and fstab.

Hi,

A small remark re additional swap: don't build an additional swap space on the disk, where you already have it, you must build it on another disk.
