What is WPAR?
Workload Partition (WPAR) is a software-base virtualization feature of AIX 6 that will provide new capabilities to reduce the number of AIX operating system images that need to be maintained when consolidating multiple workloads on a single server.
WPARs will provide a way for clients to run multiple applications inside the same instance of an AIX operating system while providing security and administrative isolation between applications.
We will discuss the GE (Global environment) and WPAR (Workload partitions) and, VWPAR (Versioned WPAR) in further.
