ESXi determines automatically where the system swap should be stored, this is the Preferred swap
location. This decision can be aided by selecting a certain set of options. The system selects the best possible
enabled option. If none of the options are feasible then system swap is not activated.
The available options are:
n
Datastore - Allow the use of the datastore specied. Please note that a vSAN datastore or a VVol
datastore cannot be specied for system swap les.
n
Host Swap Cache - Allow the use of part of the host swap cache.
n
Preferred swap le location - Allow the use of the preferred swap le location congured for the host.
Configure System Swap
You can customize the options that determine the system swap location.
Prerequisites
Select the Enabled check box in the Edit System Swap Seings dialog box.
Procedure
1 Browse to the host in the vSphere Web Client navigator.
2 Click .
3 Under System, select System Swap.
4 Click Edit.
5 Select the check boxes for each option that you want to enable.
6 If you select the datastore option, select a datastore from the drop-down menu.
7 Click OK.
