When swap space use above 80%, server often hang.
my question:

How can i check that which process and path of particular file is using highest Swap space ?

Please help. thanks.

use the top command to see which uses the highest cpu usage. that is the one mostly cause this outage

Try sth. like

 # svmon -Pgt 5

This command shows the top 5 processes in paging space.

Hi,

generally speaking - you should not use ANY swapspace - especially not on a database - as this means you do not have sufficient memory and you keep your box unnecessary slow.

Kind regards
