Where is the Swap space located

I want to install Solaris 8 on my x86 (AMD Athlon) machine. I have arrived at a point where the installer prompts for the starting cylinder of the swap space. It wants to set it to Cylinder 3.
Disk layout is as follows
1. Primary FAT32 Win98SE 5 GB
2. Ext. FAT32, beloning to Win98 2x 5GB = 10GB
3. Primary Solaris 4.7GB
As I don't want to delete my system partition (1) I want to know what cylinder I have to set. Is "3" referring to the third cylinder of the entire disk (which would surely overwrite Win98) or does it refer to cylinder 3 on partition 3 (which would be no problem)? Or should I set it manually to the starting cylinder of the solaris partition?
All dual-booters not having solaris on the first partition of the disk...what did you select??
Thanks in advance

  • Solaris: Increase the swap space

    Hi all,
    I am the developer, not the DBA, but actually should make some DBA-job.
    On our solaris server I should increase the swap space, but I don't know how to make this...
    From time to time I get the following error message in system log files:

    Many thanks!

    Check what is using the memory and if that is necessary.
    1. can you safely shrink the SGA ? you would need to check the AWR reports, or recommended sizes.
    2. can you safely shrink the PGA ? you would need to check the AWR reports, or recommended sizes)
    3. can you reduce the number of processes ? (are there lots of idle processes ?)
    4. can you tune sql to use less memory ?
    If you can't reduce allocated memory, check if you can add RAM to the server / container.
    If you still think you need to increase swap, you may need to add another disk (what is /dev/md/dsk/d60 ?). You can easily google for the Solaris commands to add swap, but if you are not familiar with this process I would not recommend you do it by yourself. Ask Oracle Support to provide the commands, and TEST them on a DEV box, followed by reboots etc to confirm it works.

  • Where is the oci8jdbc.so locate in linux_oracle installation directory?

    i can not found it whereever from otn or in local installation.

    The installation guide available at https://linux.oracle.com/documentation/ may require some updating. Last time I checked, chapter 16.16.5. Recommended Partitioning Scheme, did not include the swap space required for hibernation mode.
    It is mentioned here:
    https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installation_Guide/s2-diskpartrecommend-x86.html
    Swap space size recommendations issued for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0, 6.1, and 6.2 differed from the current recommendations, which were first issued with the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 in June 2012 and did not account for hibernation space.
