Problem installing Oracle client Swap size Redhat server

Question

Problem installing Oracle client Swap size Redhat server

I currently have a virtual server with 64bits RedHat 6.4 on VMWare. At the time of creating it we assigned 6 GB of RAM and later it was modified by the VMWare interface to increase it up to 8 GB (it was already restarted), but when trying to install the Oracle 11gr2 client, it shows me an amount less than 6 GB in Swap Size.

How do I increase this memory?

I attach an image

When validating the information that is having the server I get the following:

I found the solution in a forum, I leave it here if it helps someone else. Solution

Follow steps with user root :

Creates a file for swap memory with the name "myswapfile", in the /root directory with size of 1024 MB (1GB)

Dd if= / dev / zero of= / root / myswapfile bs=1M count=1024

Ls-l/root / myswapfile
Change permissions so that only the root can have access to modify it

Chmod 600/root / myswapfile
Causes the myswapfile to serve as a system-recognized swap file

Mkswap/root / myswapfile
Activates the swap with that file

Swapon/root / myswapfile
To finish setting it as swap the following line is added to this /etc/fstab file:

/ root / myswapfile swap Swap defaults 0 0
Verify that{[3] was created and is being recognized]}

Swapon-s

Free-k
If you do not want to restart, to make sure that the system takes all the swap memory, including the new one:

Swapoff-a

Swapon-a
