Power Systems for AIX II: AIX Implementation and Administration

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

• Install the AIX operating system, filesets, and RedHat Package Manager (RPM) packages
• Perform system startup and shutdown
• Discuss and use system management tools such as System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) and IBM systems director console for AIX
• Manage physical and logical devices
• Discuss the purpose of 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
• Implement Workload Partitions (WPAR)

You should be familiar with:

• basic information technology (IT) concepts and the role of an operating system. This course does not require any logical partitioning experience.
• General TCP/IP knowledge is strongly recommended. This prerequisite may be met by attending:
  • AIX Basics (AU131) or (AT131)

You should already 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 (AU131) or (AT131) or through equivalent AIX/UNIX knowledge.

In addition, it would be helpful (but not mandatory) that you are familiar with partitioning concepts and technology as taught in Power Virtualization I: LPAR Planning and Configuration (AN110) or (AX110).
