To change your paging space (swap) in IBM AIX:
# chps [ -s LogicalPartitions | -d LogicalPartitions ] [ -a { y | n } ] PagingSpace
where:
-s : specifies the number of logical partitions to add.
-a : specifies to use a paging space at the next system restart. Valid values are "y" or "n".
-d : specifies the number of logical partitions to subtract.
Example to add 16 logical partitions to paging00:
# chps -s'16' paging00
Example to remove 16 logical partitions to paging00:
# chps -d'16' paging00
Example to add 16 logical partitions to paging00 and make the change effective through reboots:
# chps -s'16' paging00 -a'y'
Example:
chps -s'16' paging00 -a'y'
# chps [ -s LogicalPartitions | -d LogicalPartitions ] [ -a { y | n } ] PagingSpace
where:
-s : specifies the number of logical partitions to add.
-a : specifies to use a paging space at the next system restart. Valid values are "y" or "n".
-d : specifies the number of logical partitions to subtract.
