Preparing an AIX 5.2 versioned Workload Partition for Live Application Mobility

For AIX® 5.2 workload partitions, the versioned WPAR must first be created, then the following software must be applied within each versioned WPAR environment that is to be configured for live mobility:
  • APAR IZ72315
  • APAR IZ90201

The required system updates for preparing an AIX 5.2 versioned Workload Partition for Live Application Mobility are included on the AIX 5.2 WPAR product media in the aix52_updates directory. To copy these images to the AIX 5.2 versioned WPAR, mount the product media into a directory on the global system, then copy all of the images from the aix52_updates directory to the AIX 5.2 WPAR, as in the following example for AIX 5.2WPAR my52wpar:

# mount -vcdrfs /dev/cd0 /mnt
# startwpar my52wpar
# mkdir /wpar/my52wpar/tmp/aix52_updates
# cp /mnt/aix52_updates/* /wpar/my52wpar/tmp/aix52_updates
Log in to the WPAR and apply the updates:
my52wpar# install_all_updates -d /tmp/aix52_updates

The software for APAR IZ72315 and APAR IZ90201 is included on the product installation media under directory /aix52_updates.

Preparing an AIX 5.3 versioned Workload Partition for Live Application Mobility

For AIX 5.3 workload partitions, the software to enable live application mobility for a AIX 5.3 WPAR might either be applied to the AIX 5.3 system from which the system backup image is derived, or it might be applied within the AIX 5.3 workload partitions. The following software update must be applied before live application mobility can be enabled for the AIX 5.3 workload partitions:
  • APAR IZ89583

APAR IZ89583 is available through regular AIX 5.3 support channels.
