Sure..   just define a partition and mkswap it...you should be able to
put swap on any available disk storage   (as well as VDISK).

Re: SWAP under SAN disk

[Grzegorz Powiedziuk]

sure
But I still recommend doing different levels of swap.
I always set 3 devices with different priorities

highest - vdisk   (just a couple of hundreds megs for tiny, occasional
 swapping)
medium - dasd (few gigs mdisk for real swapping if something happens and
vdisk is not enough)
low  - fcp ( huge disk for heavy emergency swapping)
