Resizing swap space on VMWare ESX Linux

[Blackburn, Marvin]

YOu can change the swap allocation in Virtual Center.  
Highlight the host, go to configuration, then memory.  You can tell it
what you want.
It does require a reboot.  This swap is only for the service console,
and unless you run a lot of stuff outside what was delivered, then you
really don't need anywhere near 600 MB.

Do you need to change the swap space of service console in ESX? 

You can make use of mkswap, swapon commands to do this. Check the man
page of these commands.

Thanks,

Hi,

We've over-allocated the swap space on a newly installed
VMWARE ESX - 6Gb.

I was told that 800MB is the max & possibly 600MB for
swap space is sufficient though the VMWare blade comes
with 32Gb memory.

How can I reduce the swap space size without reinstalling
the ESX?


Thanks
U
