Hi,
to add new paging space use mkps.
To increase paging space size use chfs.
To see information about paging space use lsps.
See man pafes for details.
Regards Boris.

MCubitt, you can also use smitty to add a new paging space or increase an existing paging space. The smitty path is system storage management / logical volume manager / paging space and then either add another paging space or or change/show characteristics of a paging space.

Thank you all.

The results show:
Page Space Physical Volume Volume Group Size %Used Active Auto Type
hd6 hdisk0 rootvg 512MB 2 yes yes lv

So I think something peculiar must have been going on to cause this since such a low % is used normally.

The percentage is the percentage used since the system booted, so if the system hasn't been booted in a while and has been relatively quiet until now, 2% is possible. And, it depends on what you have running on this system.

I once had a system that had 2 GB of paging space. A developer started a process that cause a core dump and a cryptic message that made me think it was paging space that was required. I had to add 6 more GB of paging space to correct the problem. The developer said he was only doing a huge ftp, but I never verified that.

With root authority enter # chps -s'N' hd6 where N is the number of partions you need to increase.

lsps -a will display what you currently have.

usally paging space is in 32mb partions so add one partion for each 32mb...

Example: chps -s'4' hd6

Would be equal to 128 mb of increase space.
