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.

      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.
