Operating Systems AIX Virtualization: WPAR vs LPAR Post 302603384 by zxmaus on Wednesday 29th of February 2012 11:17:24 PM

wpars are downwards compatible to some extend - so you can run AIX 5.3 in your wpar while your underlying OS is 7.1
If you want to use lpar or wpar depends largely on your application criticality and the purpose of the system. If you need some wpar for a few days or hours to test a script, a package, some code than yeah - a wpar will do. You surely would not want to run a large production database on a wpar.
