find out the size of the swap partition on your terminal, escape from the wsiris
terminal emulator with ~!. If you are using the IBM terminal emulator, t3279,
escape to the shell by following the instructions in IBM Terminal Emulation,
Section 3.4, Escaping to the Shell.
In response to the shell prompt, enter:
sgilabel md0
The sgilabel command prints out the disk drive label. The label includes the
brand of disk drive and the size of each partition. Table 6-1 also gives the size
of each partition for the IRIS 3010.
If the simultaneous processes running on your IRIS require more space on the
swap partition, you can make it larger. If your IRIS 3010 uses less virtual
memory than is currently available, you can create more storage room on the
disk by reducing the size of the swap partition.
The backup partition is an exact copy of the root partition. To keep the two
partitions the same size, divide the space reclaimed from the swap partition
equally between the root and backup partitions.
To change the sizes of the partitions, follow these steps:
1. Configure the terminal for PROM monitor boot (i.e., set
configuration switches 1 through 5 to
Closed
).
2. Boot the system:
b
3. Escape from the terminal emulator by entering:
~!
4. Become the super-user:
su
5. Ensure that the backup partition is up to date:
rootcopy ok
6. Mount the backup partition:
mount /dev/md0c /mnt
