AIX WPAR is most close to HP-UX Secure Resource Partition, if that's what your asking.

Hi Gurudatta,

Its just like LVM, here you are going to share the resource of your server.

Each partition will have their own cell board, memory etc.

Hi

I can only assume you are refering to workload, which is a new virtualization concept, and apart of VSE.

http://docs.hp.com/en/T2786-90092/T2786-90092.pdf

Both Solaris 10's 'Project' concept and HP's 'Workload' appear similar to me. The increased or better monitoring of performance by grouping related processes together.

Here is the definition of workload in HP-UX

A collection of processes in a standalone server, nPartition compartment, virtual
partition compartment, or virtual machine compartment. Global Workload Manager
(gWLM) extends this concept to include pset compartments and FSS group
compartments. Virtualization Manager enables you to monitor the resource utilization
of workloads. Capacity Advisor collects the historical resource utilization for
workloads for use in capacity planning activities. Global Workload Manager (gWLM)
enables you to monitor and manage workloads by automatically adjusting the resource
allocations of their compartments based on policies.
Workloads that are managed by gWLM are called â managed workloadsâ . Workloads
that are monitored by Virtualization Manager but are not managed by gWLM are
called â monitored workloadsâ .
