This is a Suggestion on how to increase Swap Disk Space in your eDMS OVA with the Help of LVM (Logical Volume Manager)

The following instruction are common and basic Linux System and LVM Administration and not proprietary to the eDMS nor its developers.

Always ensure a proper backup is in place prior to any such administrative work is started.

Client takes on full responsibility for the execution of this task. This should not be attempted unless you are qualified.

This being said, there are a number of huge advantages to extend your Diskspace via LVM over other means (e.G. you do not have to split up your storage over several logical mountpoints) and this has proven to be reliable, scalable and fast.

Should you have the need for increasing your Swap Diskspace and are not feeling comfortable with this procedure, please feel free to contact Patrix, Serviva or Pace-Ip for assistance.

Add Harddisk Space in your Hypervisor Environment

...

Please refer to the Manual of your Virtualization Platform for this.The Standard Size while deploying the OVA is 100 GB. This will naturally not suffice anymore after a while of adding Documents, Versions Previews etc

Swap Space is added to a Computer to substitute disk space for RAM memory. So when RAM fills up, Memory is moved to disk.
While your Computer may have a lot of RAM, individual Docker containers and tasks may have less RAM assigned to them.
This may lead to "swapping" before your physical Ram fills up.
So you might have a number of processes using Swap Space. And when these Numbers grow, your Swap Space needs to grow as well.

We cannot give a general Recommendation as to how large your extension should become, but please contact us if this is unclear in your specific Situationsince this may be dependent on individual scenarios.

Nonetheless we have had satisfactory experiences with assigning 0.5 times the amount of RAM as Swap Space.

Your mileage may vary on this, but usually it can be said that growing Swap Space larger than the actual amount of RAM will not increase performance, in some instances will even slow things down.
