I would not do that. Can you increase the guest machine size? You want to be at a point where you barely swap.
From: "Beesley, Paul" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 11/21/2016 09:35 AM Subject: Additional SWAP recommendations Sent by: Linux on 390 Port <[email protected]> Hi A couple of our z/Linux servers running under z/VM are apparently short on swap space and I?ve been asked to increase it. The PROFILE EXEC has 2 SWAPGEN statements to define 2 x 768MB swap VDisks. I was planning on using defining additional Vdisk as follows: Def vfb-512 ? allocate 1GB Activate using YAST Mkswap ?f /dev/dasdx Swapon /dev/dasdx And then to add an additional SWAPGEN to the profile to make it permanent Is this the recommended method?
