processor loaded, use the NSKCOM START command to enable use of the swap file.
If the processor did not load, ensure that the disk the swap file is on is up when the
processor is loaded and reload the processor.

swapfile
identifies the kernel-managed swap file.
cpu
is the processor that the swap file is configured for.
Cause. When the Kernel-Managed Swap Facility (KMSF) attempted to enable use of
a swap file with the START command, the START command failed. This error can
occur during startup or following issuance of the START command. Some possible
reasons a START command might fail include:
•
The swap file’s disk is down.
•
The swap file’s file code is incorrect. This error only occurs if you create the file
using a program other than NSKCOM or if you alter the file code.
•
The swap file is incorrectly specified for multiple processors and is already in use
by another processor.
•
The system is out of physical memory.
Effect. The swap file is not used. If there is a heavy demand for swap space, this
might slow system performance.
Recovery. Correct the error and enable use of the file again:
•
If the disk is down, bring the disk up and enable the file.
•
If the file is bad, use NSKCOM to delete the swap file. Then add and enable use of
the swap file.
•
If the swap file’s code is incorrect, delete the file. Then use NSKCOM to add and
enable use of the file.
•
If the swap file is specified for multiple processors, add and enable use of another
swap file for each of the other processors.
