Recently, we have been getting more midrange systems where in the past we have
settled for multiple small server systems (typically V480 and V880). In the
past, I have used the simplistic 2xtotalRAM formula to determine a general
baseline for swap. At present, the systems I am working with are starting in
the V1280 range, typically have 8 or 12 processors and a minimum of 16gig RAM.
I can't imagine a system would need 32gig of hard disk swap, but I may be
wrong. I also realize that the intended use of the system plays into this
formula (i.e. simple web server vs. raw number crunching vs. big databases).
Can anyone point me to some basic guidelines or offer advice on an effective
and efficient swap formula?
Any assistance provided is appreciated and a summary of responses will
follow.
