These are my changes to use V-DISK swap: In the guests profile.exec: queue '1' queue 'LXSWAP' 'FORMAT 204 E ( BLK 4096' if rc <> 0 then exit rc queue '1' 'RESERVE LINUX SWAP E6' (This is from the HOWTO on linuxvm.org) As early as possible in /etc/rc.sysinit if you're running a Linux guest with less than 48Mb storage: mkswap /dev/dasde (dasdd is my 204 device) swapon /dev/dasde If you have more than 48Mb storage defined, a normal swap entry in /etc/fstab will suffice.
