giving real disks to swap is a real waste of resource. It is much better to take the "extra disk resource" that you allocate but never want to use, and assign it to z/VM paging to enhance your paging subsystem. Then define two vdisks for swap, prioritize them, and set an alert when the 2nd disk is being used.

Hi

I am using SWAPGEN to define by z/Linux VDISKS I also want to define a real disk for swap. My question is can I use SWAPGEN to define a swap on real DASD? If you have an example of the control card syntax to accomplish this that would be great?
