IBM rolls up (discounted) AIX Enterprise Edition

David Eddleman

Discounted AIX? 

Joke

Isn't that like a polished turd?

DB2 - Only on AIX - I think NOT. 

Your inference that DB2 was only available on AIX is incorrect. DB2 in also on all UNIXs and LINUX.

Incorrect comment - Correct term is Live Application Mobility 

"The key WPAR program that IBM is adding into the Enterprise Edition release is called Workload Partition Manager, which was previously an add-on product, and this is what allows AIX WPARs and their workloads to be teleported from one physical machine to another using what IBM calls Live Partition Mobility."

Live Partition Mobility - Introduced with Power6 systems and migrates the entire partition including the OS. It is initiated and managed by the HMC (Hardware Management Console)

Live application mobility - migrates a WPAR to another machine or LPAR, feature of AIX 6 (and can thus be done even on Power4 or Power5 systems)
