How to increase the swap size in single user mode with DVD in solaris 10?

adahiyaMay 9 2016 — edited May 11 2016

Hi Team,

I am restoring my server from backup but while doing restoration in single user mode (cdrom -s) it showing an error like "swap space limit exceeded". As i have checked and my OS is having 15G swap space but while booting it to single user mode it showing on 6G memory. Any procedure to increase the swap size?

# tar xf /dev/rmt/0cn

WARNING: /tmp: File system full, swap space limit exceeded

tar: ./usr/sunvts/lib/sparcv9/libmtsk.so.1: HELP - extract write error

#

fork failed - too many processes

# #

Command output in Single user mode when rebooted from DVD:

#swap –l ---- The output of this command was not taken.

# df -kh
