SWAPMANAGER(1M)						       SWAPMANAGER(1M)


NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     SwapManager - view	and manage system swap space

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     /usr/sysadm/bin/runcatalog	/usr/sysadm/catalogdf/SaSwapCatalog.cdf

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     Managers display information about	your system and	provide	access to
     interactive guides	(also called tasks) that let you administer your
     system.  For example, the User Manager displays a list of the user
     accounts currently	on the system and gives	you access to guides like "Add
     a User Account" and "Modify a User	Account."

     In	a Manager window, you can open a guide by choosing its name from the
     Task menu or by clicking its button at the	bottom of the window.

     The Swap Manager monitors the system's swap configuration.	Every 5
     seconds it	uses the swapctl(2) system call	to get the current swap
     information and update its	display.

GUIDES    [Toc]    [Back]

     Guides, also called "tasks," are interactive windows that lead users
     through the steps necessary to perform various system administration
     tasks, such as adding new user accounts and configuring networking	on the
     system.

     A guide typically consists	of a series of pages that prompt users to
     enter information or select options. A user navigates through guide pages
     using the Prev and	Next buttons (or corresponding arrow keys).  When the
     user reaches the last page	of a guide and clicks the OK button, the
     system executes one or more privileged commands to	perform	the system
     administration task. These	commands are located in	/usr/sysadm/privcmd.
     See runpriv(1M) for more information about	privileged commands.

     Many of the guides	require	that a user either know	the root password or
     be	assigned the necessary privileges (using the PrivilegeManager(1)) in
     order to perform the task.

     Add Real Swap Space    [Toc]    [Back]
	       This guide lets the user	create a swap file on a	local
	       filesystem and add it to	the system's swap configuration.  The
	       new swap	element	will remain across power-ups until explicitly
	       removed.	 The privileges	needed for this	task are:

	       o    Add	Local File Swap	(addLocalFileSwap(1M)).

	       o    List All Filesystems (listAllDiskFS(1M)), a	default
		    privilege

	       o    Show xlv (xlvShow(1M)), a default privilege

     Add Virtual Swap Space    [Toc]    [Back]
	       This guide lets the user	add virtual swap.  It requires a
	       different privilege from	adding real, logical swap space, since
	       administrators may wish to grant	one privilege and not the
	       other.  The privilege needed for	this task is:

	       o    Add	Virtual	Swap (addVirtualSwap(1M)).

     Remove Swap Space    [Toc]    [Back]
	       This guide lets the user	delete an element of virtual or	real,
	       logical swap space.  The	privilege needed for this task is:

	       o    Remove Swap	(removeSwap(1M))
