Swap space requirements (UNIX)
On UNIX platforms, you must ensure that you have adequate free disk space that is configured to be used as swap space.
The exact amount of swap space needed depends on the size and composition of your network and the type of discovery. For smaller amounts of physical RAM, you need proportionally greater amounts of swap space. The following figures show the approximate amount of swap space depending on the amount of physical RAM.
- 4GB RAM
- Configure 10GB swap space.
- 8GB RAM
- Configure 16GB swap space.
- 12GB RAM
- Configure 18GB swap space.
For amounts of RAM greater than 12 GB, configure the same amount of swap space. For example, for 24GB RAM, configure 24GB swap space.
