AIX Paging Space Best Practices from IBM
Paging Space size is unique for each system, depending on such things as which applications are running and/or the number of active users.
One commonly used method for memories larger than 256 MB, total paging space = 512 MB + (memory size - 256 MB) * 1.25
This formula is just an initial suggestion for the paging space size, you maybe require to adjust the size at anytime that best fits your environment.
For an example, for systems with large amounts of memory > 64GB typically do not need such large amounts of paging space.
