Not to worry. Adding more swap space is easy. On Thu, Dec 20, 2012 at 12:30 PM, Victor Echavarry Diaz <vechava...@evertecinc.com> wrote: > Is there a way to expand the swapgen vdisk swap without reboot the server or > define a new vdisk using swapgen without ipl?
Expand it? No. But the norm (for Linux on any HW) is to add more swap volumes, not enlarge them. This can be done on-the-fly. Remember to make it permanent ... if the need is expected to persist. (Or remember to enlarge what you run through SWAPGEN.) For VDISK, create another with 'vmcp define', then bring it online with 'chccwdev -e', then 'mkswap' against the new device, and then 'swapon' that same device. This is not permanent. If you are in a crisis (any HW), you can use a file for swap. Again 'mkswap' and then 'swapon'.
