  • RHEV-H Swappiness

    Posted on

    Hi,

    We have a server with RHEV-H (Hypervisor) installed.
    This server has 378GB of memory.

    Swapness is configured as Linux default:

    # sysctl -a | grep swap
    vm.swappiness = 60
    

    We do not intend to use more than 80% of server physical memory.
    Could we use vm.swappiness = 0?

    Is there any behavior or motivation to not use this configuration?

    Regards
