Thank you all for the feedback. Here's the basic procedure for dynamically adding swap on HP-UX 11.0:

Create a swap logical volume:
lvcreate -n swapvol2 -l 1 -C y -s y -r n vg03

add the swap entry to /etc/fstab:
/dev/vg03/swapvol2 ... swap pri=1 0 0

Activate the swap:
swapon -a

Alternatively, you can just add filesytem swap, like so:

swapon /tmp Received on Tue Apr 25 2000 - 00:00:00 CDT
