Sizing of swapvol+dumpvol on kernelzones

Patty_fooAug 29 2019

Hi,

Did someone made experience with the sizing of swapvol and dumpvol for kernelzones?

There is a well known document from docs.oracle.com which describes the sizing for physical servers, but we could not identify if this is also valid for kernelzones. As kernelzones use their own swap and dump, the recommendation should also be valid for kernelzones.

What's your opinion about this?

https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/821-1459/fsswap-31050.html

Table 19-1 Swap and Dump Volume Sizes for ZFS File Systems

4 GB

8-64 GB

High-end server with more than 128 GB of physical memory
