A while back we had a system disk failure. After the disk was replaced apparently hd6 paging space was not put back. The system has not been rebooted since then and I was wondering if this was going to be a problem? I have other paging spaces just not hd6.

Here is the output od lsps -a

Page Space Physical Volume Volume Group Size %Used Active Auto Type
paging02 hdisk1 rootvg 8320MB 1 yes yes lv
paging01 hdisk3 rootvg 8320MB 99 yes yes lv
paging00 hdisk0 rootvg 19200MB 72 yes yes lv
paging00 hdisk2 rootvg 1024MB 72 yes yes lv

Hi

In the following file:
/sbin/rc.boot

That is executed on boot is the swapon command that enables the paging space device
used on boot time. Please review this file and probably will find that the paging00
device is enabled. Then the other three devices are activated.

About your total paging space of 36GB ... i think is too much. About your paging01
device with up to 99% of using, i think you need to tune your AIX's
VMM so less paging space is used. How much memory does your server have ??, could you
please post the output of the following command:

vmo -a | egrep "minperm|maxperm|maxclient"

Hope this helps

I know it is a lot of paging space but I have 5 Oracle databases running on it. Here is the output from vma:

Grits:root:/# vmo -a | egrep "minperm|maxperm|maxclient"
maxclient% = 80
maxperm = 3887837
maxperm% = 80
minperm = 971956
minperm% = 20
strict_maxclient = 1
strict_maxperm = 0

I have about 19 gig of memory and will be installing more soon
