YOu can change the swap allocation in Virtual Center. Highlight the host, go to configuration, then memory. You can tell it what you want. It does require a reboot. This swap is only for the service console, and unless you run a lot of stuff outside what was delivered, then you really don't need anywhere near 600 MB. _____________________________________ "He's no failure.

You can make use of mkswap, swapon commands to do this. Check the man page of these commands.

I was told that 800MB is the max & possibly 600MB for swap space is sufficient though the VMWare blade comes with 32Gb memory. How can I reduce the swap space size without reinstalling the ESX?
