23 08/30/10 © 2010 IBM Corporation IBM Power Systems AIX Workload Partitions (WPAR) What is it? Top reasons to use WPARs .Virtualized AIX operating system . WPARs are designed to save environments within a single AIX image administrator work by reducing the number of AIX instances to patch .Each WPAR shares the single AIX operating system . WPARs have much lower memory resource requirements: 68 MB vs 1GB for .AIX 7 added the capability to run AIX an LPAR 5.2 in a WPAR* . WPAR takes seconds to create and .Applications and users inside a LPARs minutes WPAR cannot affect resources outside . Application mobility much simpler to the WPAR* organize than LPM

.Each WPAR can have a regulated . Lots of WPARs on one AIX is simpler to share of processor, memory and other monitor and control than monitoring resources across many LPARs.

.Two types of WPAR Disk or NFS storage Networks . Rapid cloning is easy and lets you use "disposable images" - simple to create, - System WPARs have separate experiment and throw away security and appear like a completely separate OS - Application WPARs are manageability wrappers around a single application * Requires purchase of the AIX 5.2 WPARs for AIX 7 product

24 08/30/10 © 2010 IBM Corporation IBM Power Systems AIX 7 WPAR Enhancements .Export of Fibre channel adapters to WPARs –NPIV-like, but can work on any Fibre Channel adapter –Adds support for Fibre Channel tape

.Kernel Extensions for WPARs –Trusted kernel extensions may be loaded by the WPAR administrator –Extensions can be only for one WPAR or for entire system

.Support for VIOS disks in WPARs –VSCSI disks can be exported to a WPAR –This feature also available in AIX 6 Technology Level 6

.Run AIX 5.2 inside of a Workload Partition –Consolidate older environments on POWER7 processor-based systems –Requires AIX 5.2 WPARs for AIX 7 – available separately from AIX 7

. A new licensed program product offering that allows customers to simplify migrating their old, AIX 5.2 workloads to POWER7 – Runs on top of AIX 7 and POWER7 processor-based server

. Customer value – Simplify consolidation of old workloads on new hardware – Reclaim floor space and eliminate hardware support for obsolete servers – Protects customer investment in application stacks – Offering includes phone and fix support for AIX 5.2 – Enables advanced capabilities such as SMT4, Live Application Mobility and Live Partition Mobility – Provides a way for AIX 5.2 clients to move up to POWER7

AIX 5.2 WPARs for AIX 7 will be a separately charged product built on AIX 7
