Free Swap Space System-wide (SWPTotSwapFreeSpace)
Description
This parameter displays the total amount of free swap space. Once your system is out of swap space, it cannot start any new processes, and running processes cannot spawn new processes.
Recommendations
If your system runs out of swap space regularly, you should add more swap space. Your only other alternative is to schedule or terminate jobs with large memory requirements. You should become very familiar with your system's work load and standard processes. Killing frivolous processes and scheduling jobs with large memory requirements to run during non-peak times may improve performance greatly.
In the case of this parameter, setting range thresholds is of little value, so none have been by default. Because the Swap-Space-Used-System-wide-SWPTotSwapUsedPercent displays a percentage of total swap space used, it is a better candidate for range thresholds for running out of swap space.
