would be better to think of DLPAR as an operation to dynamically alter a virtual machine aka LPAR.
WPAR can be seen as the AIX implementation of the jail concept. Solaris has a similar construct known as containers. WPAR differentiate from others in that there are two types - system and application WPAR's.
An application WPAR isolates the application encapsulating the application in a protected environment that can be moved between AIX systems running at the same level.
A system WPAR appears as if it is a regular system. if you know where to look you can see the difference. System WPAR are also mobile capable.
Hope this helps.

seems to be WPAR is quite easy to set up..without additional licenses..
If I don't need Linux and all my legacy and new apps are happy in AIX 7.1 (the latest OS), I could save all troubles and use WPAR.
Can someone comment on this ??

I am trying to generate a report to track dlpar operation performed on a MS and was wondering if anyone has done this before.
I can get history from HMC using lssvcevents , but this does not give me details as to what quantity was added or removed .
Any thoughts ?

nameclt
nameclt(1) General Commands Manual nameclt(1)
NAME
nameclt - Naming Service client
SYNOPSIS
nameclt [-ior <object-reference>] [-advanced] <operation>
DESCRIPTION
The nameclt command invokes operations on the Naming Service. The allowed operations are:
list <context-name>
lists contexts and objects bound in the context with the specified name.
bind_new_context <context-name>
binds name to a new context, and returns the stringified context IOR.
remove_context <context-name>
unbinds and destroys the named context, as long as it is empty.
bind <object-name> <stringified-IOR>
binds name to object.
unbind <object-name>
unbinds name and object.
resolve <object-name>
returns stringified IOR bound to specified name.
OPTIONS
-ior NameService-object-reference
Use the given stringified IOR as the "root" context of the naming service. By default, nameclt uses the object reference returned
by calling CORBA::ORB::resolve_initial_references("NameService").
-advanced
Allow advanced operations. These are operations which should not normally need to be used. They may however be useful for testing
the naming service and also for cleaning up in the event of a client messing up the namespace. The operations are:
bind_context <context-name> <stringified-IOR>
binds name to context.
rebind <object-name> <stringified-IOR>
binds name to object even if binding already exists.
rebind_context <context-name> <stringified-IOR>
binds name to context even if binding already exists.
new_context
returns stringified IOR for a new context.
destroy
destroys the naming context given with -ior flag.
