Example: Confirm Swap Space Size
This example shows one way to analyze the physical memory on a system board to determine whether the system has enough swap space to support deletion of a board. It explains how to collect and analyze information using the showdevice(8) command on the XSCF and the swap(1M) command on the Solaris OS.
In this example, the system board to be deleted contains physical memory and a disk has been attached to it to provide swap space. A disk that is attached to another system board provides additional swap space.
This example is based on the following swap space size and physical memory size. Most of the swap space in the system is still available and the system board can be safely deleted.
■Swap area of the entire domain: 4GB
■Swap area of the system board to be deleted: 1GB
■Physical memory of the system board to be deleted: 2GB
1.Execute the showdevices(8) command on the XSCF to show the resources of the system board
This command displays the total physical memory on the board and the I/O devices that are attached.
