SYNTAX
/etc/swapon -a
/etc/swapon name ...
DESCRIPTION
Swapon specifies additional devices for paging. The system
begins by paging on just one device so that only one disk is
required at bootstrap time. Calls to swapon normally occur in
the system rc script chk.setup in the /etc/init.d directory. By
default, this will invoke swapon the first time you change init
run levels. See the file /etc/dgux.params to set the argument to
the swapon command in the rc script chk.setup.
Normally, the -a argument is given. This makes available all
devices marked as ``sw'' swap devices in /etc/fstab. A secondary
swap device entry in etc/fstab would be as follows:
/dev/dsk/swap1 swap_area swap sw x 0
The second form of swapon makes the individual block-special
devices specified on the command line available to the system for
swap allocation.

swapon(2), fstab(4).

BUGS
You cannot stop paging on a device. Therefore, you cannot use
swapon for devices that may be dismounted during system
operation.
