you can enable file system swap for the duration of the update
(until system reboot) by using the following command:
/usr/sbin/swapon /var/tmp
The directory /var/tmp can be used if there is sufficient free
space. If /var/tmp is full, then specify a different volume that has
enough free space to satisfy the swap space requirement.
Alternatively, you can shut down unneeded programs to make
