Using a paging resource

A paging resource represents a directory where client paging files are maintained.

When this type of resource is allocated to a client, NIM creates a subdirectory for the client's exclusive use. This allocated subdirectory is initialized by the dkls_init or dtls_init operation, which creates a file in this subdirectory that the client configures as a paging device when it performs a network boot. By default, 32 MB are reserved for this file. A different value can be specified using the size flag when the dkls_init or dtls_init operation is performed.

After this resource has been initialized for a client, it is configured as a paging device by the client each time the client performs a network boot.
