Please post "vmstat 2 2", "swap -l", "swap -s" and "prtdiag | grep Memory" output.

also i can t allocate more swap space.
Why ? Adding a swap area is quite a simple operation.

As menioned by you i have already checked the processes which take more memory and have killed them ..
What processes are these ? Please post ps or prstat output.

Now the question is even after killing many processes the swap space stilll shows the same , thus it is not getting released by itself .
Post the commands you use to measure it.
Quote:
If i will reboot the server it releases this swap space .
Obviously, but that's pretty extreme.
Quote:
Is there any other way to release this swap space then to reboot the server ?
Sure, but you have to understand first why do processes exhaust all your virtual memory first. Killing them blindingly is not the right approach.
