Sorry for delaying the points, but I don't receive e-mail notifications anymore, not sure why.

My question would be, inside a LPAR can I have multiple WPAR? Is there a limit?

Of course you can have WPARs inside an LPAR.<br />
<br />
The number of WPARs that can be created is basically constrained only by the availability of global (LPAR) memory (and disk space, of course), but only <b>8192</b> WPARs can be active at any time.<br />
<br />
The number of &nbsp;resource-controlled WPARs (&quot;mkwpar -R ...&quot;, &quot;chwpar -R ...&quot;) is limited to <b>8192</b>, whether they're active or not.

Hi wpm,<br />
<br />
I was wondering if I can configure wpars on my AIX 5.3 by having a power4 cpu?<br />
<br />
How about if I upgrade to AIX 6?<br />
<br />
Do I need any special licence for WPAR's like needed on PowerVM?<br />
<br />
Due to my understanding, WPARs are for AIX like zones are for Solaris?<br />
<br />
Thank you!

AIX wpar's ?

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
