Most of the documentation you see about setting swap space for an Oracle box states that swap should be equal to RAM. With the size of RAM now days getting to 64Gig or more, is this really a requirement? Is there a good standard to follow?

I have also read that Sun allocates swap at the same time and amount as it allocates RAM for a process. Is this still true with Solaris 8 and 10? If so, I can see why you might set swap equal to RAM. Received on Fri Aug 12 2005 - 11:17:21 CDT
