A standard Solaris swap space partition that is not under the control of volume management software cannot be resized. However, you can add swap space by using free space from another partition.
To create a swapfile:
mkfile size swapfile
Here is an example to create an additional 512M swapfile:
mkfile 512M /files0/swapfile
Add the swapfile to system swap space:
swap -a /files0/swapfile
Add an /etc/vfstab entry to have the swapfile added after each reboot:
/files0/swapfile - - swap - no -
Make sure to manually remove this /etc/vfstab entry if you ever delete the additional swapfile with swap -d.
Additional swap commands
List swap space:swap -l
List swap space statistics:
swap -s
Delete a swapfile:
swap -d swapfile
