AIX came up with Workload partition, a virtualization solution for software partitioning with single OS image. Competing in the market with Solaris Containers, it has got really good applicable virtualization solution for AIX.
WPARs are categorized of two types:
1. System WPAR
2. Application WPAR
Essentially a System WPAR was targeted to provide complete virtualized environment for user, where user interfaces that he is working in a dedicated AIX Server. User can log in, will have their own separated user area (chrooted to /wpars/<wparname>).
Application WPAR, is just a resource allocation strategy for specific set of applications.
Basically WPARs are advance WLM, which help user to allocate resources within the WLM class, and can assign the process belongs to that WLM classes to a WPAR.
There are lot of WPAR management commands are provided from system login.
1- mkwpar
2- lswpar
3- chwpar
There are also performance statistics for each WPARs, that can be monitored from system login. From WPAR login, user will experience and can see the statistics for that particular WPAR only.
