Listing WPAR identifiers
You can list the identifiers for a WPAR using the lparstat command or the uname command.
WPARs have the following identifiers:
- WPAR name
- The name you assign to the WPAR.
- WPAR UUID
- An universally unique ID that is associated with a WPAR. It can be specified when the WPAR is created, otherwise the ID is generated automatically. The UUID is stored in the WPAR configuration and persists until the WPAR is removed. The UUID can be changed with the chwpar command.
- WPAR configured ID
- A dynamic identifier that is assigned each time the WPAR is started. For the global environment, the value of this identifier is 0.
- WPAR key
- A static identifier that is the same each time you start the WPAR. For the global environment, the value of this identifier is 0.
To view WPAR identification and processor
information, run lparstat command with the -W flag as
follows:
lparstat -W
To display the WPAR key, run the
uname command with the -W flag as

uname -W
To display the UUID of a WPAR, run the
lswpar command with the -a flag as
