Changing amount of swap space created by AirWave VM

  • 1.  Changing amount of swap space created by AirWave VM

    Posted Sep 18, 2013 11:50 AM

    Hi,

    I'm running AirWave 7.7.4 on a VmWare ESX 5.x server. which has loads of memory ( 96 Gigabytes) but a bit short on disk space. 

     

    If I try and allocate lots of memory to the VM, Centos seems to create  swap space dependent  on the amount of memory it thinks it has. Allocating 80 Gigabytes of RAM results in a swap area > than the available physical disk space. 

     

    Currently running with 30 Gigabytes of RAM and 4G swap. Is there any way of persuading Centos to keep the 4G swap space but let me allocate more Memory to the VM?

     

    Rgds
