Hi all
In our enviroment storage and disk i/o is at a premium, so we were looking into removing the need for .vswap file to free up space and remove potential i/o.
We are not short of RAM at the moment so in theory we could set full reservations on all VMs to remove the need for .vswaps. But I am a little reluctant to do this as it might limit the flexabilty of memory allocation, especially in a DR situation.
Is there a way of disabling the .vswap file use without setting the reservations? And what would be the pros and cons of doing this?
We are running vsphere 5 with some esxi 4 also
Thanks
