#11 Re: Creating dynamic swap space Posted by ajt (84.12.xx.xx) on Thu 27 Sep 2007 at 23:06 We don't have anything like 160GB of disk, SCSI disk space is/was expensive, our fairly recent boxes have only 40 GB disks. 8GB of unused swap space on those boxes is a fair sized chunk of space. In this case there is actually space (the real data is on the AIX box and a SAN), the point is that they require 8GB of swap irrelevant of the actual RAM and CPUs you have. Too many of SAP's guidelines are too crude and inflexible for reality. You are correct, you don't argue with SAP no matter how many times they are wrong and you are right. SAP couldn't write a decent bit of code, documentation or instruction if their life depended on it. I've never seen as much rubbish in my life before, but it's what we have and their word (however hard it is to interpret) is LAW... -- "It's Not Magic, It's Work" Adam
