KMS Files and New Systems
The default swap files are sufficient for you to run NSKCOM to create and start
configured swap files. Create and start configured swap files as soon as possible after
the system is loaded. See Quick Start: Adding Configured Swap Files to a New System
on page 2-4.

Note. Each processor requires more swap space than provided by the default swap file.
After the default swap files have been opened, configure additional swap files for each
processor. For information about how much swap space to allocate, refer to Amount of
Swap Space to Allocate on page 2-2.
