Versioned WPARs are AIX 5.2 WPARs that you create on top of AIX 7.1 base operating system. Applications running in an AIX 5.2 WPAR use AIX 5.2 commands and libraries. If you have applications that have not been certified on newer versions of AIX, the AIX 5.2 commands and libraries provides a way to run them in an AIX 5.2 environment on top of AIX 7.1. Such a setup allows running those applications on currently available hardware that might not support the use of AIX 5.2 as the base operating system.
A versioned WPAR is always a system WPAR, and is not shared. Versioned WPARs own writable /opt and /usr file systems.
Following are the prerequisites for Versioned WPARs
• Versioned WPARs only support POWER7™ hardware.
• Versioned WPARs can be installed only on an AIX 7.1 operating system.
• The latest available, and supported version of AIX 5.2 is technology level (TL) 10, and service pack (SP) 8. Therefore, any backup image that is used to create an AIX 5.2 WPAR must be from an AIX 5.2 system running the latest version.
