Summary: Maximum size of swap partition in cluster 5.1b-3



Hello Managers,
A very late summary, but I did not get around to trying to fix the problem until last week.

It seems it was actually a non-issue. The clu_create/clu_add_member command only allows an 8gb swap partition on the default partition on the member boot disk. However, after adding the member, I merely relabelled the disk, extending the b partition ( without moving the other partitions) while the member was shutdown, and rebooted. The system saw the extended swap partition.

Thanks to Vincent Jean-Marc who gave me way to modify the default swap size before creating the member. I did not test this since my cluster was already built.
Here is Vincent's response:

You should edit /usr/sbin/cluster/clu_common lib script for
MaxSwapPartSize:

...
typeset -r MaxSwapPartSize=16777216

Hello all,

Apparently, the default maximum swap partition size in the creation of a cluster member (5.1b-3) is 8gb. Last year, I found the file which could be edited to raise that limit. I thought it was a parameter in /etc/sysconfigtab, but now I can't find the reference.

How can I raise the maximum swap partition size for a cluster member in 5.1b-3?

Thanks.

John
