IBM Power Systems
Moving up to AIX 7
AIX 7 runs on your existing hardware– Fully exploits POWER7 processor-based systems– Also exploits systems based on POWER4™, POWER5™, POWER6 processors
AIX 7 runs your existing applications– Current applications will continue to run – no need to recompile applications *– Even supports 32 bit applications created on AIX versions prior to AIX V5– Binary compatibility guarantee
Upgrade process– Prior upgrade tools will support upgrade to AIX 7– Clients can upgrade directly to AIX 7 from AIX 6 and AIX V5– Free upgrade for customers with Software Maintenance Agreements (SWMA)
–Upgrades are no charge within the same edition:
AIX 5.3 to AIX 7 Standard edition
AIX 6 Express Edition to AIX 7 Express Edition, etc,*See general conditions at ibm.com/systems/power/software/aix/compatibility

AIX Workload Partitions (WPAR)
WPARs are designed to save administrator work by reducing the number of AIX instances to patch
WPARs have much lower memory resource requirements: 68 MB vs 1GB for an LPAR
WPAR takes seconds to create and LPARs minutes
Application mobility much simpler to organize than LPM
Lots of WPARs on one AIX is simpler to monitor and control than monitoring across many LPARs.
Rapid cloning is easy and lets you use "disposable images" - simple to create, experiment and throw away
Virtualized AIX operating system environments within a single AIX image
Each WPAR shares the single AIX operating system
AIX 7 added the capability to run AIX 5.2 in a WPAR*
Applications and users inside a WPAR cannot affect resources outside the WPAR*
Each WPAR can have a regulated share of processor, memory and other resources
Two types of WPAR
- System WPARs have separate security and appear like a completely separate OS
- Application WPARs are manageability wrappers around a single application
Top reasons to use WPARsWhat is it?

AIX 7 WPAR Enhancements
Export of Fibre channel adapters to WPARs –NPIV-like, but can work on any Fibre Channel adapter–Adds support for Fibre Channel tape
Kernel Extensions for WPARs–Trusted kernel extensions may be loaded by the WPAR administrator–Extensions can be only for one WPAR or for entire system
Support for VIOS disks in WPARs –VSCSI disks can be exported to a WPAR –This feature also available in AIX 6 Technology Level 6
Run AIX 5.2 inside of a Workload Partition–Consolidate older environments on POWER7 processor-based systems–Requires AIX 5.2 WPARs for AIX 7 – available separately from AIX 7

AIX 5.2 WPARs for AIX 7
Client simply backs up existing legacy AIX 5.2 environment and restores into an AIX 7 WPAR
Client applications continue to run in AIX 5.2 environment with AIX 5.2 libraries
The SWMA for this offering will also provide how-to and limited defect support for the AIX 5.2 operating system
POWER7 exploitation: SMT4, VIOS, MicroPartitioning and Mobility
Managed via IBM Systems Director Workload Partitions Manager or command line
AIX 5.2 WPARs for AIX 7 will be a separately charged product built on AIX 7AIX 5.2 WPARs for AIX 7 will be a separately charged product built on AIX 7

Movement of the OS
and applications
to a different
server with no loss of
serviceVirtualized SAN and Network Infrastructure
PowerVM Live Partition Mobility• Move an entire Logical Partition from one system to another while it is
running with almost no impact to end users
• Moves the entire LPAR including the operating system
• Requires systems based on the POWER6 or POWER7 processors, PowerVM Enterprise Edition, and all I/O must be through the Virtual I/O Server
• Works with partitions running AIX 7, AIX 6, AIX V5.3 and Linux
Live Partition Mobility
AIX Live Application Mobility• Move a Workload Partition from one AIX system to another AIX system
while running with almost no impact to end users
• Moves only the WPAR, the AIX operating system is not moved
• Requires the PowerVM Workload Partitions Manager, and all WPAR filesystems must be on shared storage
• Works on systems based on POWER4 processors and later
