Paging Space for BSD 4.3 System Managers

The following AIX commands assist in managing paging space (also known as swap space):

chps(1) Changes attributes of a paging space.
lsps(1) List attributes of a paging space.
mkps(1) Add an additional paging space to the system.
rmps(1) Removes a paging space from the system.
swapon(1) Specifies additional devices for paging and swapping.

If a large paging space is required, you should place one paging logical volume for each hard disk. This allows scheduling of paging across multiple disk drives.
