Hello.
If this has been asked before I'm sorry and a simple pointing in the right direction would be great!
We are getting a few new machines and will be putting a large db on them.
I normally allocate
Swap space = 2 * Phys. Mem
Even for machines with 4G of physical memory (is this wrong?)
Anyway the new machines are going to be E6500's with 30G of memory, now
should I allocate a 60G for swap? (my god thats a lot!)
Does anybody have any experience, suggestions?
Thanks
Timothy Brown
