This section describes Veritas File System (VxFS) support for workload partitions (WPARs). Currently, there are no VxVM operations available within a system WPAR, so any VxFS file system that is needed for data use must be created in the global environment, then set up so the WPAR can access it. The VxFS (local mount only) is supported inside the workload partition (WPAR) environment. Cluster mount is not yet supported inside a WPAR. WPAR can have both root and non-root partitions as VxFS file system.
In Storage Foundation, there is limited support for WPARs, as follows:
All the Storage Foundation filesets must be installed and configured in the global partition of AIX.
Storage Foundation can only be administered from the global partition.
There are two ways to use a local mount VxFS file system inside WPAR environment.
