This guide offers step-by-step details to create a workload partition (WPAR) on the IBM AIX 6.1 operating system. It also provides installation processes for IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.1 and IBM DB2 9.5 to help you create a sandbox for testing PDM applications.

This guide provides instructions for establishing a workload partition (WPAR) on IBM® AIX® 6.1 and the installation of IBM WebSphere® Application Server 6.1, along with IBM DB2® 9.5 to create a sandbox for evaluating product data-management (PDM) applications. WPARs, which were delivered with AIX 6.1, provide software-based virtualization and complement the logical partition (LPAR) capability that is supported on IBM Power System servers. You can mix and match, for example, by creating a WPAR inside of an AIX 6.1 server that, itself, runs in an LPAR. This guide is intended to educate Advanced Technical Support Specialist (ATSS) and Field Technical Support Specialist (FTSS) on the configuration of a WPAR to host PDM applications on IBM Power Systems servers running AIX 6.1 to assist in sales and evaluation engagements. This guide specifically targets the use of a shared-system WPAR, where the /usr and /opt file systems are accessed from the global environment. This type of WPAR has simpler administration and needs less allocation of disk space. Because some software applications require modification of files in either /usr or /opt during their installation and normal operation, you might have to use the system WPAR, which creates private [writable] /usr and /opt file systems.
