Description

Learn to install, customize, and administer the AIX operating system in a multiuser POWER (System p) partitioned environment. This course is based on AIX 6.1 running on a Power6 system managed by HMC version 7. This course is also appropriate for prior releases of AIX and has a high practical content.

Objectives

* Install the AIX operating system, filesets and RPM packages
* Perform system startup and shutdown
* Understand and use system management tools, focusing on SMIT and IBM systems director console for AIX
* Manage physical and logical devices
* Understand the logical volume manager
* Perform logical volume and file system management
* Create and manage user and group accounts
* Perform and restore system backups
* Utilize administrative subsystems, including cron to schedule system tasks, and security to implement customized access of files and directories
* Configure TCP/IP networking
* Understand and Implementation Workload Partitions

Participants

This course is appropriate for anyone with system administrative duties implementing and managing an AIX operating system in a multiuser POWER (System p) partitioned environment.

Prerequisite(s)

You should be able to:
* Log in to an AIX system and set a user password
* Execute basic AIX commands
* Manage files and directories
* Use the vi editor
* Use redirection, pipes, and tees
* Use the utilities find and grep
* Use the command and variable substitution
* Set and change Korn shell variables
* Write simple shell scripts
* Use a graphic Common Desktop Environment (CDE) interface

These skills can be acquired by taking AIX Basics (AU13) or through equivalent AIX/UNIX knowledge.

In addition, it would be helpful (but not mandatory) that you be familiar with partitioning concepts and technology as taught in Power Virtualization I: LPAR Planning and Configuration (AN11)
