Never having added any additional swap space to an LSM configuration,
before, I am faced with the question of where
(in what disk group) to place a mirrored swap volume which I will call
swapvol2 which will be a secondary swap file.
I fail to find any hints in all the documentation available as to which
disk group, rootdg, or a separate one is the best group in
which to place this volume for performance.
It seems to me that since I am using a system where /, primary swap, /usr,
and /var are mirrored and are in rootdg, it would make sense to add my new
swap volume to a new disk group named "moreswap" or something equally
descriptive.
However, I have no information other than that provided by intuition that
it makes any difference in performance or reliability as to which disk
group I place swapvol2. It certainly makes the LSM layout more
understandable to have swapvol2 in a separate disk group, but that's all i
know for sure.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance and of course I'll summarize.
Regards,
Bruce
