WPARs of either type can be setup with resource controls - for specific CPU numbers you best use Resource sets (RSET). And you can determine the memory.
Do be careful because its easier to damage performance this way.
Like a WPAR paging badly when the Global AIX has spare RAM - which seems pointless.
Your term "provision" is ambiguous.
You can create a "master" WPAR configured with DB2 installed.
Then back this up and use it you create many more but WPAR cloning - this is really a WPAR restore but also reconfigure network, hostname, disks as part of the restore.
See WPAR movies for examples at
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/wikis/display/WikiPtype/Movies There is currently no mechanism to convert a currently running LPAR in to a WPAR.
You need to rebuild it and move the data - I presume you have a LPAR build procedure to create NIM mksysb resource so you can use the same procedure/script/tools.
I hope this helps, thanks Nigel Griffiths
