The WPAR agent monitors WPARs, brings WPARs online, and takes them offline.

For more information about the agent, see the Cluster Server Bundled Agents Reference Guide.

This agent is IMF-aware and uses asynchronous monitoring framework (AMF) kernel driver for IMF notification. For more information about the Intelligent Monitoring Framework (IMF) and intelligent resource monitoring, refer to the Cluster Server Administrator's Guide.

The agent requires a user account with group administrative privileges to enable communication between the global environment and the WPAR. To create a user account, use the hawparsetup.pl command to configure the service group.

See Configuring the service group for the application.

In secure clusters, the agent renews the authentication certificate before the certificate expires.
