H06.27 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

KMSF swap files need to be larger than in G-series RVUs. The best practice is to monitor swap file
usage. See the Kernel-Managed Swap Facility (KMSF) Manual for information on configuring swap
file space.
To check the size of the configured swap files for each processor:
1. At a TACL prompt, start NSKCOM:
$SYSTEM STARTUP 5> nskcom
NSKCOM - T5838H01 BASE (01OCT04) - Apr 15 2005

$SYSTEM.SYSTEM.ZSYSCFG
KMS.SWAPFILE = 0 $SYSTEM.ZSYSSWAP.SWAP00
KMS.SWAPFILE = 1 $SYSTEM.ZSYSSWAP.SWAP01
KMS.SWAPFILE = 2 $SYSTEM.ZSYSSWAP.SWAP02
KMS.SWAPFILE = 3 $SYSTEM.ZSYSSWAP.SWAP03
2. Issue the STATUS SWAPFILE * command to display the peak pages reserved so that you
can compare that information to the total amount of swap space available.
$SYSTEM TOOLS 50> nskcom STATUS SWAPFILE *
