AIX : to get OS is 64bit
bash-3.2# getconf -a | grep 64
HARDWARE_BITMODE: 64

Stop NIS services on AIX

To use SMIT type:
# smit ypstartstop

To stop all yp daemons:

# stopsrc -g yp

To start all yp daemons:

# startsrc -g yp

To stop a yp daemon, for example ypbind, individually:

# stopsrc -s ypbind

To start a yp daemon, for example ypserv, individually:

# startsrc -s ypserv

Increase Swap Size

AIX
You can use smitty go to logical volume manager --->volume groups
..
then there is last option paging space click on that ..
go to change/show characteristics ..
then add number of additional logical partitions...
be cautious about the same as 1 logical partition = 64 MB
presently u said tha u have 512MB and u wannna 2 GB then
just add logical partition = 24


Solaris

1. Use mkfile to create a file suitable for a local swap area. For example, to create a 1GB swap file:

       /usr/sbin/mkfile 1024m /swap

   where /swap is the name of the file to be used as swap space. Units for the size can be kilobytes (k), blocks (b), or megabytes (m).

2. Tell the system to start using the file as swap:

       /usr/sbin/swap -a /swap

   Use swap -l to verify that the swap file has been activated.

Linux

[root@srv-2 /opt]# dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1024 count=132207
[root@srv-2 /opt]# chmod 600 swapfile
[root@srv-2 /opt]# mkswap swapfile
Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 135372800 bytes
[root@srv-2 /opt]# swapon swapfile

You can edit /etc/fstab to enable your swap file automatically at boot time.
By adding an entry like this:

/opt/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0
