RE: Swap Space

You may however run into some performance issues, or other issues later
on.   That was my experience on Solaris

I can't give any technical references, but i can say what i did.  When
the installer complained about wanting 18gb of swap for our HP-UX
Itanium Oracel 11.1.0.6 install, i tried to bypass it with only 4gb.  It
worked fine.  The SA said he couldn't get to expanding it right away,
and i got impatient.  

Just my experience.

Subject: Swap Space

I am installing Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 on a linux server running RH 5.x with
18gb of 
memory.  According to the Oracle install guide it recommends a swap
space equal 
to total memory or 18gb.  Does it really require swap space of 18gb?  If
I 
allocate less space for swap (say 8gb), will that have any adverse
effects?
 
Thanks in advance,
