Step 7: Verifying Swap Space - HP 300 Series Software Installation Instruction

Step 7: Verifying Swap Space
When you continue from the Main Menu, you see the following menu:
Swap space verification
The current swap space is xxxxx blocks (1 block
=
512 bytes)
Is this correct? (Enter y or n)
» _
Swap space is space on the disk that is reserved for operating system use. The
swap space, together with file system space, make up the disk capacity. Thus,
if you increase your swap space, you decrease your file system space (and vice
versa).
With the 7.0 release, you can easily add swap space any time after the
installation (see the System Administration Tasks Manual); however, if you
allocate more swap space now, you cannot easily deallocate that extra swap
later, and use it for file system space. In most cases, then, the default value
(xxxxx)
is adequate-simply enter
G),
and go to Step 8.
