The global AIX environment is the AIX running in a machine or a logical partition. Each WPAR has its own top level root file systems called “/”, “/tmp”, “/home”, and “/var”. The WPAR definition decides what sub-directory or NFS mount point is going to be used for the top level directory for the WPAR. Note: in the WPAR spec file “/” refers to the WPAR’s “/” and not the global AIX “/”.
