5.3. DLPAR-safe and DLPAR-aware applications
The dynamic logical partitioning function on AIX 5L Version 5.2 is designed and implemented to not impact the existing applications. In fact, most applications are not affected by any DLPAR operations results. Therefore, those applications are called DLPAR-safe applications.
There are two types of application classifications regarding DLPAR operations:
| DLPAR-safe | Applications that do not fail as a result of DLPAR operations. The application’s performance may suffer when resources are removed, or it may not scale as resources are added. |
| DLPAR-aware | Applications that incorporate DLPAR operations that allow the application to adjust its use of the system resources equal to the actual capacity of the system. ... |
