Swap Space

Swap areas are really file systems used for swapping. Swap areas should be sized based on the requirements of your applications. Check with your vendor to identify application requirements.

Table 62-5 describes the formula used to size default swap areas by the Solaris 2.x installation program. These default swap sizes are a good place to start if you are not sure how to size your swap areas.

See Chapter 30, Configuring Additional Swap Space (Tasks) for information about managing swap space.
