There are two ways to add swap in Sun Server(i.e. Sun
Solaris) as below;

1. Make a partion at availbale free disk of required swap
size and then make an entry in /etc/vfstab file. After that
run the command #swapadd /dev/dsk/cXtXdXsX or give the
reconfiguration reboot to the Server.

2. Instead of making partion you can create make a file of
required swap size with the help of #mkfile <size>
<filename> command and after that make an entry
in /etc/vfstab and follow rest of steps mention in point

#swap -a /file1 **here file1 is already make

#swap -l this is for swap management
#swap -s this is for status of swap.
After adding into the particular place in hard device
#swap -a /dev/dsk/c#t#d#s#
