Thanks to the following for the quick response....
Peter Stern, Stuart Davidson, Marco Luchini, Stam Nicolis, Tom Blinn, Alan
Rollow, Laurent Deniel, Regis Rembado, Roy Langridge (please call me
sometime!), Tim Rioux and Mike Procter?
Three categories useful suggestions...
1.--------------------------------------------------------
echo 'p vm_swap_eager' | dbx -k /vmunix /dev/mem
0 = lazy, 1 = eager
-----------------------------------------------------
2.--------------------------------------------------------
alpha1:root:/# cd /usr/var/adm
alpha1:root:/usr/var/adm# grep swap messages | tail -4 would result in..
Jul 3 08:29:17 alpha1 vmunix: vm_swap_init: warning /sbin/swapdefault swap devi
ce not found
Jul 3 08:29:17 alpha1 vmunix: vm_swap_init: in swap over commitment mode

You want the swapon command (/sbin/swapon -s). The output if you don't have
"eager" allocation (no /sbin/swapdefault file) is like this (after details
on each swap partition):
Total swap allocation:
Allocated space: 98404 pages (768MB)
In-use space: 22809 pages ( 23%)
Available space: 75595 pages ( 76%)
If you have "eager" allocation, there will also be a "reserved" line that is
the number of pages reserved to back in-memory pages.
