AIX Workload Partitions (WPAR) Native Package Installation

AIX provides virtualized operating system environments within a single instance of AIX called Workload Partitions (WPAR). Workload Partitions are software partitions that are created from and share the resources of a single instance of the AIX operating system. AIX contains a master partition called global environment and workload partitions that run alongside it.

Review the following considerations and limitations before you install UNAB on AIX WPAR:

• You can install UNAB on AIX 7.1 WPAR or later only.
• If you select to use AIX WPAR in shared mode, where the /opt and /usr directories are shared by all partitions, use a private installation directory. For example: specify to install UNAB in /CA/uxauth/ directory and not in /opt/CA/uxauth directory.
• AIX WPAR Live Migration is not supported.
• You cannot install UNAB on AIX 5.2 WPAR.
• Enable the use_time_sych option (set to 'yes') on the AIX Global Environment only. Disable this option on the Workload Partition instances of UNAB (set to 'no').
