AIX 6.1 - Workload Partitions (WPARs)

AIX 6.1 - Workload Partitions (WPARs)

Virtualization unquestionably saves a lot of money on power and cooling. The more partitions you can carve on your existing systems, the better utilization you will have. WPAR, a new innovation of AIX 6.1, allow for operating systems virtualization, outside of traditional hypervisor-based logical partitioning. In essence, it allows you to carve up multiple workload environments inside of one host and OS kernel. So you can now have one single instance of AIX 6.1 and using WPARs you can have four different test environments working within that instance, appearing like separate operating system instances. Prior to WPARs, you would need to carve out separate logical partitions (LPARs) within the physical server.

This new feature of AIX 6.1 has the effect of reducing the amount of physical devices necessary to support your logical environments. Though one can conceivably get by with the bare minimum of physical devices for a logical partition, the WPAR is clearly the most efficient means that you can use when creating a new environment. This is purely an AIX innovation, unrelated to the POWER6. Furthermore, Live Application Mobility, another AIX 6.1 innovation, allows you to relocate running WPARs from one LPAR to another. IBM is the first vendor that allows for this feature without having to shut down the application or partition. This helps promote energy savings by allowing datacenter operators to move around workloads in such a way as to allow physical servers to sleep during non-peak periods. This feature is available on Power5™ servers and even Power4™ as well!

Human Resources organization is optimized

How do you make sure your Human Resources organization is optimized for effectiveness, efficiency, and business alignment? How do you best organize, manage, staff, and invest in HR to drive the greatest business impact?

You are invited to participate in Bersin & Associates' major research study to help you answer these questions in detail: The High-Impact HR Organization. This research study is a comprehensive look at trends and best-practices in the organization, management, and operations of Human Resources.

Goals of this study:

HR executives and professionals need ways to deliver ever-greater levels of service, support, and talent management solutions to their organizations. Today's business climate - with its rapidly changing workforce, economic challenges, regulatory requirements, and evolving technologies – demands that HR re-evaluate its role, structure, and delivery strategy to drive employee and business value.

This in-depth research will look at best-practices in HR organization, structure, roles, technology, service-delivery, program strategy, and resource allocation. The goal is to provide you a proven set of modern solutions you can use to improve the impact of HR.
As a participant in this research, you will be able to contribute, learn, and benchmark your organization against these best practices. All research participants will receive a detailed overview of study findings and will be invited to a special webinar presenting the results
In appreciation for your time, you will also receive a copy of our recently published 2009 Career Factbook for HR and Learning Professionals. This 130 page report provides a comprehensive view of career paths, competencies, compensation, education, motivation, and the challenges of HR and L&D professionals.

Please click here to participate. This survey will take you approximately 20 minutes to complete. If you have any questions about this research, please contact Bersin & Associates at info@bersin.com. For more background on this research, please visit http://www.bersin.com/hihr.

Preparing to host applications.

Websphere Application Server Network Deployment, Version 6.1
Operating Systems: AIX, HP-UX, i5/OS, Linux, Solaris, Windows, z/OS

Preparing to host applications
Rather than use the default application server provided with the product, you can configure a new server and set of resources.
About this task
The default application server and a set of default resources are available to help you begin quickly. You can choose instead to configure a new server and set of resources. Here is what you need to do in order to set up a runtime environment to support applications.
Procedure
1. Configure an application server.
2. Create a virtual host.
3. Configure a Web container.
4. Configure an EJB container.
5. Create resources for data access.
6. Create a JDBC provider and data source.
7. Create a URL and URL provider.
8. Create a JavaMail session.
9. Create resources for session support.
10. Configure a Session Manager.
