What should not be done at the global environment level when WPARs are there?

The WPAR is just a bunch of processes with an extra flag as far as the global AIX in concerned so its just the same as for a regular application – they need disk and network access and some CPU and memory. But I have had problems Relocating if on one machine I have tried security features like Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). This adds special kernel extensions and changes to the global AIX environment. So during Relocation it fails to build a duplicate environment ( one has the extensions and one doesn’t) and the Relocate has to be backed out so the WPAR restarts again on the source LPAR.
