Making software available to other WPARs

When you install software in the global environment, it is not always automatically available for use within your system WPAR. You can use the syncwpar command or the syncroot command to make software available.

Application workload partitions share their file systems with the global environment and do not create new file systems. Therefore, the syncwpar command and the syncroot command are applicable only to system WPARs.

To make software available in one or more WPARs, run the following command in the global environment:
syncwpar wpar_name1 wpar_name2

The syncroot command performs the same function as the syncwpar command, but the syncroot command operates only within the WPAR where it is issued.
