Change the Swap File Location in the vSphere Client
When a virtual machine is powered on, the system creates a VMkernel swap file to serve as a backing store
for the virtual machine's RAM contents. You can accept the default swap file location or save the file to a
different location. By default, the swap file is stored in the same location as the virtual machine's
configuration file.
For more information about host swap file settings, see the vCenter Server and Host Management
documentation. For more information about cluster settings, see the Resource Management documentation.
Procedure
1 In the vSphere Client inventory, right-click the virtual machine and select Edit Settings.
2 Click the Option tab and under Advanced, select Swapfile Location.
