chps -d

[Pons]

can I reduce the default paging space hd6 from 3G to 2G on a fly, and how?
I think via "chps -d" or not ....
I am using 5L 5.1 with ML3

I will do it manually
- create a temp. paging space
- mark the new one active for the next boot and deactivate the original ps
- reboot
- remove original ps

No need to:

- create new paging space and activate
- edit /sbin/rc.boot (It's from heart, so you'll need to check this)
- bosboot -ad /dev/hdisk0 (and/or any others in the bootlist)
- deactivate hd6
- remove hd6

After this do the same, but then create hd6 and remove temp paging.

It can all be done on a running system without the reboot. (bin there,
done it)

You are right, I used RedBook aix sys admin
chapter 7. page 207-209 to do it.
Many thanks for your reply.

With AIX 5.1 it's easy:

create a temporary swap

swapon to it

swapoff /dev/hd6

remove hd6

re-create hd6

swapoff temporary

remove temporary
