We are running the paging monster app "SAP on DB2". I have never seen
an app eat paging space like this one. If we bounce SAP we get it all
back but until we do that SAP keeps all the paging space and dose not
release it. As always the recommend 2 X physical memory but with the
new SAP installs they want 3 X physical memory which is ridicules but I
have no choice in the matter so I have to add it even if they don't need
it.

Jeff,
Before throwing more paging space at the system, have you ran vmstat
and iostat to see what the system is doing? Can you provide a vmstat
listing and iostat listing? Are you running Oracle? Any other databases?
Also, provide the output of vmtune and schedtune. The group may be able
to tell what's going on performance wise and make some recommedations.

Subject: Paging space on a fastT
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience putting paging space on
attached disks like a fastT 900. I am out of space on my internal OS
disks and need more paging space and was wondering if there are any
problems I should be aware of before I do this. Thanks for you help.
