Answer / prashant raut

There are two ways to add swap in Sun Server(i.e. Sun
Solaris) as below;

1. Make a partion at availbale free disk of required swap
size and then make an entry in /etc/vfstab file. After that
run the command #swapadd /dev/dsk/cXtXdXsX or give the
reconfiguration reboot to the Server.

2. Instead of making partion you can create make a file of
required swap size with the help of #mkfile <size>
<filename> command and after that make an entry
in /etc/vfstab and follow rest of steps mention in point
one.

Answer / s ramesh reddy

first we can make file using below command
#mkfile <filesize> <filename>
Ex:- mkfile 100m file1
checking the file using bellow command
#ls -l
adding make file to swap space
#swap -a /file1 **here file1 is already make

#swap -l this is for swap management
#swap -s this is for status of swap.
After adding into the particular place in hard device
#swap -a /dev/dsk/c#t#d#s#

After creating swap file update the same to /etc/vfstab what will be the fstype.
