No problem. Actually, I have and use SWAPGEN, on SLES9 and SLES10, and they work fine. This is the first time I have actually tried it on version 8.

I apparently missed that part of your message. Typically to use Vdisk swap we use a free utility from Sine Nomine called SWAPGEN. It will put a swap signature on the device for you. All you would need to do in Linux is identify the disk in /etc/fstab as swap and Linux will use it. SWAPGEN runs from the PROFILE EXEC and can either create the virtual disk for you or reuse a virtual disk that was created based on the directory entry. Go to www.sinenomine.net and search for SWAPGEN. Walters, Gene P wrote: > Yes, I added them to the zipl.conf and ran zipl, then did a mk_initrd > for good measure.
