To show the current paging space volume, its size along with other information use the ‘lsps’ command:
#lsps -a Page Space Physical Volume Volume Group Size %Used Active Auto Type Chksum hd6 hdisk1 rootvg 1024MB 1 yes yes lv 0
The paging space may be increased on the fly using the ‘chps’ command. In order to increase this paging space to 2 GB we need to to find out the PP size, since chps will increase the paging space by the specified number of PP’s
# lslv hd6 LOGICAL VOLUME: hd6 VOLUME GROUP: rootvg LV IDENTIFIER: 00c4489d00004c00000001354404cb5c.2 PERMISSION: read/write VG STATE: active/complete LV STATE: opened/syncd TYPE: paging WRITE VERIFY: off MAX LPs: 512 PP SIZE: 128 megabyte(s) COPIES: 2 SCHED POLICY: parallel LPs: 8 PPs: 16 STALE PPs: 0 BB POLICY: non-relocatable INTER-POLICY: minimum RELOCATABLE: yes INTRA-POLICY: center UPPER BOUND: 32 MOUNT POINT: N/A LABEL: None MIRROR WRITE CONSISTENCY: off EACH LP COPY ON A SEPARATE PV ?: yes Serialize IO ?: NO INFINITE RETRY: no
On this system is the PP size 128M so in order to increase the paging space size to 2Gig we need 8 PP’s
# chps -s 8 hd6 # lsps -a Page Space Physical Volume Volume Group Size %Used Active Auto Type Chksum hd6 hdisk1 rootvg 2048MB 1 yes yes
