IBM Systems Group Agenda Ø Introduction to AIX Workload Partitions (WPAR) Ø WPAR characteristics and positioning Ø System WPARs Ø Application WPARs Ø WPAR administration Ø WPAR Performance Tools Ø Summary 2 © 2008 IBM Corporation

IBM Systems Group What are AIX Workload Partitions? Ø Created via software as virtualized environments in a single AIX instance Ø Partitioned system capacity AIX Image ü Each Workload Partition obtains a regulated share of the processor and memory resources ü Each Workload Partition has separate network and filesystems and many system services (e. g. telnetd, etc. ) Ø Separate Administrative control ü Each Workload partition is a separate administrative and security domain Ø Shared system resources ü I/O Devices Workload Partition App Svr Workload Partition Web Svr Workload Partition Billing Svr Workload Partition Test Svr Workload Partition E ü Processor ü Operating system ü Shared Library and Text 3 © 2008 IBM Corporation

IBM Systems Group Benefits of IBM AIX Workload Partitions Ø reduced administration expense by leveraging a single AIX image Ø drive higher system utilization Ø reduce the number of system images to maintain Ø “good enough” isolation for many workloads Sys 3 Application A Application B Application C Single System or LPAR AIX Partition #1 Sys 2 Sys 1 AIX Partition #2 AIX Partition #3 4 © 2008 IBM Corporation

IBM Systems Group WPAR Implications ØWhat workloads to use on WPARs? Need for dedicated I/O resources ü Isolation and security ü ØSecurity/backup/management standards for WPARs ØWhen to use Application WPARs versus System WPARs 7 © 2008 IBM Corporation

IBM Systems Group Technologies for server consolidation pain points Pain point Client workload requires the maximum amount of isolation between workloads on a single server AIX Technology Micro. Partitions Client needs to consolidate multiple workloads on a single system for highest efficiency Micro. Partitions or Workload Partitions Client needs to consolidate multiple workloads on a single system for highest efficiency and minimize the number of AIX operating systems to manage Workload Partitions Client needs to consolidate multiple workloads on a single system for highest efficiency and maximize the flexibility to support different environments Micro. Partitions Client needs to balance workloads by relocating workloads between systems with minimum delay Partition Mobility Client needs automatic, policy based relocation of workloads between systems 8 Partition Mobility or Application Mobility © 2008 IBM Corporation

IBM Systems Group WPAR Types ØThere are 2 types of WPARS System WPAR ü Application WPAR ü ØBoth WPAR type can be configured for mobility via the AIX Workload Partition Manager product 11 © 2008 IBM Corporation

IBM Systems Group Characteristics of WPARs ØDevices Managed and administered in the global environment ü Support pseudo-devices in WPARs ü ØNetworking Support multiple addresses for login and network services ü WPARs IP address is aliased to IP address in the global environment ü Configurable at creation time or later ü ØSecurity Limited interaction with global environment ü Limited interaction with persistent objects ü 12 © 2008 IBM Corporation

IBM Systems Group Characteristics of WPARs ØWPAR isolation System WPARs and application WPARs are isolated from each other ü System WPARs are integrated with AIX RBAC facility which is not true for Application WPARs ü ØResource Control Ability to change resources dynamically within a WPAR ü Allows share based allocation or percentage based allocation for processor and memory resources ü 13 © 2008 IBM Corporation

IBM Systems Group Devices in a WPAR ØUnavailable /dev/mem ü /dev/nvram ü ØStorage available from global environment via a mounted file system ØNetwork addressing through IP address aliasing from the global environment 14 © 2008 IBM Corporation

IBM Systems Group WPAR filesystem ØSystem WPAR localized view of filesystem ü ü ü / /usr /opt /tmp /var /home Ø 3 primary forms of file system access ü Shared-system – ü nfs hosted – ü Set of fs’s which can include /usr and /opt mounted ro or rw via a nfs host server Non-shared – 15 /usr and /opt are shared read-only from the global environment via namefs mounts /usr and /opt are separate local filesystems (jfs/jfs 2) within the WPAR © 2008 IBM Corporation

IBM Systems Group Specification file ØTo use a specification file to create a system WPAR ü mkwpar -f /tmp/specfile 1 ØTo create a specification file as part of the WPAR creation process ü mkwpar -n wpar_name -o /tmp/specfile ØTo generate a specification file without creating the WPAR, mkwpar -o /tmp/specfile 3 -w Ø/usr/samples/wpars/sample. spec file. 16 © 2008 IBM Corporation

IBM Systems Group Resource Control of WPARs ØTo initialize resource control settings, run the following mkwpar command ü mkwpar -n wpar_name -R active=yes CPU=10%-20%, 50% total. Processes=1024 – – A minimum of 10% of the global environment’s processors upon request A maximum of 20% of the global environment’s processors when there is contention A maximum of 50% of the global environment’s processors when there is no contention A maximum of 1024 processes at a time ØChange resource control settings dynamically for an existing active or inactive application WPAR chwpar -R total. Threads=2048 shares_memory=100 wpar_name ü chwpar –R shares_CPU=70 wpar_name ü chwpar –R CPU=5%-20%, 50% wpar_name ü 17 © 2008 IBM Corporation

IBM Systems Group Resource Control of WPARs ØUnderstanding CPU shares ü ü ü wpar A has 4 shares, wpar B has 8 shares, wpar C has 12 shares total shares=4+8+12=24 allocation would be wpar A = 4/24=16. 6% , B=8/24=33. 3%, C=12/24=50% If another wpar is added shares would alll be adjusted added wpar D 6 shares wpar A =4/30=13. 3% …. . wpar D = 6/30=20%. . wpar C=12/30=40% ØMemory shares operate similarly ØBy default number of shares for each WPAR is unlimited 18 © 2008 IBM Corporation
