Target audience
This is an advanced course for AIX system administrators, system support, and contract support individuals with at least six months of experience in AIX.
Desired Prerequisites:
You should have basic AIX System Administration skills. These skills include:
- Use of the Hardware Management Console (HMC) to activate a logical partition to run AIX and to access the AIX system console
- Install an AIX operating system from an already configured NIM server
- Implementation of AIX backup and recovery
- Manage additional software and base operating system updates
- Familiarity with management tools such as SMIT
- Understand how to manage file systems, logical volumes, and volume groups
- Mastery of the UNIX user interface, which include use of the vi editor, command execution, input and output redirection, and the use of utilities such as grep
These skills can be developed through experience or by formal training. The recommended training course to obtain these prerequisite skills is:
- Power Systems for AIX II: AIX Implementation and Administration (AN12G) and prerequisites
If the student has AIX system administration skills, but is not familiar with the LPAR environment, those skills can be obtained by attending the following course:
- Power Systems for AIX I: LPAR Configuration and Planning (AN11G)
Instructors
The great majority of the IBM courses we offer are taught directly by our engineers. This is the only way we can guarantee the highest quality. We complement all the training with our own materials and laboratories, based on our experience during the deployments, migrations and courses that we have carried out during all these years.
Added value
Our courses are deeply role oriented. To give an example, the needs for technology mastery are different for developer teams and for the people in charge of deploying and managing the underlying infrastructure. The level of previous experience is also important and we take it very seriously. That is why beyond (boring) commands and tasks, we focus on solving the problems that arise in the day to day of each team. Providing them with the knowledge, competencies and skills required for each project. In addition, our documentation is based on the latest version of each product.
