Target audience
This advanced course is for:
- AIX technical support personnel
- Performance benchmarking personnel
- AIX system administrators
Desired Prerequisites:
You are expected to have basic AIX system administration skills. These skills can be obtained by attending the following courses:
- AIX Jumpstart for UNIX professionals (AN14G) or
- Power Systems for AIX II: Implementation and Administration (AN12G)
It is very helpful to have a strong background in TCP/IP networking to support the network performance portion of the course. These skills can be built or reinforced by attending:
- TCP/IP for AIX Administrators (AN21G)
It is also very helpful to have a strong background in PowerVM (particularly micro partitioning and the role of the Virtual I/O Server). These skills can be built or reinforced by attending:
- Power Systems for AIX – Virtualization I: Implementing Virtualization (AN30G)
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.
