AIX Workload Partition (IAK_WPAR)

Workload Partitions (WPARs) allow you to create and run one or more isolated virtual environments on a single physical server, running as completely independent systems.
WPARs are created and managed from a global environment, which does not belong to any particular workload partition.

The WPAR application class monitors the attributes and statistics of WPARs on the system. It enables you to view configuration and resource utilization data for System as well as Application WPARs.

Note

  • Instances of the WPAR application class are displayed within the IAK_WPAR application class container. The WPAR instance label displays the name of the work load partition, and is prefixed with the term, WPAR_.
  • The WPAR file-system instances are displayed within the FILESYSTEM application class. Once discovered, the WPAR file-system instance label displays similar to the non-global file-system instance label in the global zone. The label is represented in the format, WPAR_name:file-system_name.
