No , it is not SHOW MEM failing, there is no pagefile installed.
Since   DISK$ALPHASYS:[SYS0.SYSEXE]SWAPFILE.SYS the swapfile is on a
different disk than DSA0:[SYS0.SYSEXE], I suppose the pagefile is on a
different disk, and needs to be installed explicitly at startup:
put the mount and install commands for DSA0: in either
 sys$system:SYPAGSWPFILES.COM
or sys$system:satellite_page.com
