Hi managers,

I am running DU 3.2C with 3 disks with 2GB each, and running Oracle.(In
two machines)
Sometimes i start receiving the message: Swap space below 10 percent
free..
in one of the machines.

When i installed the DU, i put two swap partitions in Machine B, but in
Machine A the DU was installed before with just one area and with a
strange message:
(Machine A) Swap partition <<unknown>> (default swap): ( should be
/dev/rzxx) like below

Machine A: (This machine that was giving the messages)
# swapon -s
Swap partition <<unknown>> (default swap):
    Allocated space: 16384 pages (128MB)
    In-use space: 4522 pages ( 27%)
    Free space: 11862 pages ( 72%)


Total swap allocation:
    Allocated space: 16384 pages (128MB)
    Reserved space: 11470 pages ( 70%)
    In-use space: 4522 pages ( 27%)
    Available space: 4914 pages ( 29%)


(Machine B)

# swapon -s
Swap partition /dev/rz1b (default swap):
    Allocated space: 25088 pages (196MB)
    In-use space: 3841 pages ( 15%)
    Free space: 21247 pages ( 84%)

Swap partition /dev/rz2b:
    Allocated space: 16384 pages (128MB)
    In-use space: 3712 pages ( 22%)
    Free space: 12672 pages ( 77%)


Total swap allocation:
    Allocated space: 41472 pages (324MB)
    Reserved space: 12173 pages ( 29%)
    In-use space: 7553 pages ( 18%)
    Available space: 29299 pages ( 70%)


I want to create another swap partition (in other disk) in Machine A
like the Machine B.
And machine B put a third swap space in the last disk.
How can i do this?

Thanks Andre
