I don't completely understand what is swap space!

[Advice Pro]

The only information that I have swapped spaces is

VII: Swap
   Swap space is not particularly SSI, with each node providing its own
swap space.  Swap space designation is done in the common /etc/fstab.
To determine which nodes are using which swap, you can execute an
onall swapon -s.

I've read on the forum (something like) swap space is on a partion.

So what exactly is swap space and how do I set it in the node?

I also read:

We partition each drive with a small boot partition (~50MB) , some swap
space (1GB) and the rest being allocated for RAID.

Please also tell me how to do each of the forementioned, it not just the first two

Probably it's a pool of active swap partitions/files configured on
each node of openSSI cluster. IMO process are still swapping in/out to
its home node, so this "swap space" might be needed to define the
relationship
