Hi,
Sun Containers is actually AIX WLM.
It is the way sun market it.
Basically, multiple containers in one OS instance.
OS down all containers gone.
For pSeries, besides WLM, in p5, there is this
Partition Load Manager which allows automate managing of
resources across partitions which Sun and Hp do not have.
-Thanks.
