Abdel,

What some people have done is capture the swapfile signature that gets
written (at 7766 octal??), and written that to a CMS file on the guest's 191
disk.  Then, just before the guest IPLs Linux, it writes that signature out
to the vdisk.  Then, the only thing that needs to be done in the guest is
the automatic swapon command that's in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.

Otherwise, yes, you'll need to do the mkswap and swapon each time the guest
is restarted.  That would most likely go in /etc/rc.d/rc.local.

That works! Thanks Mark.
If I need to have this  swap on whenever Linux is ipled, do I still need
to do  mkswap and the swapon?
What's the equivalent to SuSE's  /sbin.init.d/boot on RH?

Thank you
