MEM INSTALL Ultra2 1

[Scunningham99]

Hi All

I have discovered there are 4 x simm slots free in ultra 2 running 2.6.

Is am going to install 4 x 256 which should take it to a total of 2 gigg in total.

are there any post installation procedures i need to run, in order to pick up the memory. Or is it simply automatically detected once you plug it in!

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Kind regards

Simon

It will probably be picked up automatically, but to be sure you might do a boot -r from the OK prompt. An alternative is to touch a file called reconfigure in / and bounce the box. HTH.

SORRY....

I dont suppose you know how to adjust (increse) the swap space ratio?

heres contents of vfstab:-

# more /etc/vfstab
#device device mount FS fsck mount mount
#to mount to fsck point type pass at boot options
#
fd - /dev/fd fd - no -
/proc - /proc proc - no -
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1 - - swap - no -
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 / ufs 1 no -

You should be able to use swap -a

From the swap man page:

-a swapname
Add the specified swap area. This option can only
be used by the super-user. swapname is the name of
the swap file: for example, /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1 or
a regular file.

Hope this helps - post back if more advice required. Cheers.

Just an openion in addition to Ken:

If u r adding swap using swap -a command, and u r using a file in ur filesystem as swapfile, then u need to add this swapfile after every boot.

If u r adding a slice on ur disk as swapfile and making the entry to ur /etc/vfstab file, then it will be active after every boot as well. - Hemant
