SWAPMANAGER(1M)                                                SWAPMANAGER(1M)



NAME
     SwapManager - view and manage system swap space

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sysadm/bin/runcatalog /usr/sysadm/catalogdf/SaSwapCatalog.cdf

DESCRIPTION
     Managers display information about your system and provide access to
     interactive guides (also called tasks) that let you administer your
     system.  For example, the User Manager displays a list of the user
     accounts currently on the system and gives you access to guides like "Add
     a User Account" and "Modify a User Account."

     In a Manager window, you can open a guide by choosing its name from the
     Task menu or by clicking its button at the bottom of the window.

     The Swap Manager monitors the system's swap configuration. Every 5
     seconds it uses the swapctl(2) system call to get the current swap
     information and update its display.

GUIDES
     Guides, also called "tasks," are interactive windows that lead users
     through the steps necessary to perform various system administration
     tasks, such as adding new user accounts and configuring networking on the
     system.

     A guide typically consists of a series of pages that prompt users to
     enter information or select options. A user navigates through guide pages
     using the Prev and Next buttons (or corresponding arrow keys).  When the
     user reaches the last page of a guide and clicks the OK button, the
     system executes one or more privileged commands to perform the system
     administration task. These commands are located in /usr/sysadm/privcmd.
     See runpriv(1M) for more information about privileged commands.

     Many of the guides require that a user either know the root password or
     be assigned the necessary privileges (using the PrivilegeManager(1)) in
     order to perform the task.

     Add Real Swap Space
               This guide lets the user create a swap file on a local
               filesystem and add it to the system's swap configuration.  The
               new swap element will remain across power-ups until explicitly
               removed.  The privileges needed for this task are:

               ⊕    Add Local File Swap (addLocalFileSwap(1M)).

               ⊕    List All Filesystems (listAllDiskFS(1M)), a default
                    privilege

               ⊕    Show xlv (xlvShow(1M)), a default privilege





                                                                        Page 1

     Add Virtual Swap Space
               This guide lets the user add virtual swap.  It requires a
               different privilege from adding real, logical swap space, since
               administrators may wish to grant one privilege and not the
               other.  The privilege needed for this task is:

               ⊕    Add Virtual Swap (addVirtualSwap(1M)).

     Remove Swap Space
               This guide lets the user delete an element of virtual or real,
               logical swap space.  The privilege needed for this task is:

               ⊕    Remove Swap (removeSwap(1M))
