Full Discussion: How isolated are AIX WPARs?
Operating Systems AIX How isolated are AIX WPARs? Post 302917409 by bakunin on Tuesday 16th of September 2014 01:04:28 PM

I am not that knowledgeable about Solaris, but i would describe WPARs as chroot-ed environments with some logic on top to make them better manageable.

My professional experience is to better stay clear from WPARs and use LPARs instead. It is a lot easier to manage and you forego a lot of dependencies WPARs would introduce into your work. The only setback with LPARs (they need a small amount of resources more than WPARs) is alleviated tenfolds by their better manageability.

Btw: all modern LPARs are DLPARs, if you do not undertake extra measures to make them not dynamically.

I hope this helps.
