What is Global Environment in WPAR?
Global Environment:
The Global Environment has an all-encompassing view of processes, Filesystems, Devices, and other User level objects and system level objects within an AIX operating system.
The Global Environment is the same as the traditional AIX login environment. This Environment allows you to view and interact with processes, filesystems, and other system components that are assigned to an active WPAR on the system.
You can create new WPARs only in the Global Environment. Many Administrative tasks can be performed only from the Global Environment.
WPAR:
Consolidation of isolated workloads with a single AIX instance.
VWPAR:
A versioned workload partition (VWPAR) provides a different version runtime environment than the global system.
i.e Global Environment is 7.1 and inside WPAR is in 5.3, this environment is called VWPAR.
