Different output of df-h on Solaris 10 server for swap memory

Question

I am getting different output of df -h for swap memory (/tmp filesystem) on Solaris 10 server at different times. I could not find much on the actual reason, and also I am confused how can it be so?

I am getting these outputs at different times.

1) w0110Da04 ins /apps/ins> df -h

Here, /tmp has total size 578 MB. But in the second output below, I have:

Here, /tmp has 29GB as total size.

Both are swap memories, So how is there so much size difference for the same server but at different times and that too for total swap size?

Please help.
