SCO OPEN SERVER QUESTION
This is not an Informix question, but can anybody tell me how can i get more swap space on the fly?: I increased the RAM and of course the SO needs more swap.

Well, in some partition or disk must has space. if exists space use "divvy " command for to assign and then "swap" command Regards Ruben In article <92ghl3$foq$1@news.xmission.com>, =?iso-8859-1?q?Luis=20Carlos=20Diaz=20Otero?= <luiscarlosdiazo@yahoo.com> wrote: > > This is not an Informix question, but can anybody tell > me how can i get more swap space on the fly?: I > increased the RAM and of course the SO needs more > swap. > > SO: SCO OPEN SERVER 5.0.5 > > THANKS IN ADVANCE AND HAPPY NEW CENTURY > > ===== > ______________________________________ > Luis Carlos D'az Otero > ALCANOS DE COLOMBIA S.A.

I don't remember SOS well but on most UNIXes the command is 'swapon' to dynamically add swap partitions. Just prepare a disk partition somewhere and run: swapon <devicepath> or add the swap device to /etc/fstabs and run: swapon -a Art S.

Long term, the best bet is to use divvy to expand the swap area but this will probably require a reinstall of the OS (or the use of a third party backup/crash recovery product such as Lone-TAR/Arbag - highly recommended anyway!) If you cannot expand the swap area, you may add a non-contiguous partition using swap -a again but be aware that if your primary swap area is smaller than your RAM size, you will not get a dump in the event of a kernel panic. (I know SCO allows dump partitions but if you have that much extra disk space to burn you shouldn't have any problem coming up with a single swap partition large enough.)
