Swap space

[Olga_1]

Do you guys know why size of swap/dump lvol2 cannot be increased:

TYPE AVAIL USED FREE USED LIMIT RESERVE PRI NAME
dev 4096 0 4096 0% 0 - 1 /dev/vg00/lvol2
dev 10000 0 10000 0% 0 - 1 /dev/vg00/lvol10
reserve - 365 -365
memory 16317 2167 14150 13%

You can increase swap space only by adding additional lvol as swap device - http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1059964


For changing existing swap you need to make ignite tape and recover from it and setting new values for swap/dump.

Hi Olga:

Primary swap cannot be increased because the logical volume is contiguous. In order to extend it, you would have to have additional free physical extents immediately adjacent to it. When a server is initially installed, what lies immediately adjacent is 'lvol3' -- the 'root' ('/') logical volume.
