AIX JUMPSTART FOR UNIX PROFESSIONALS Training

Provide focused training for experienced UNIX administrators on how to install, customize, and administer the AIX operating system in a multiuser POWER (System p) partitioned environment. The course is based on AIX 7.1 running on a Power system managed by Hardware Management Console version 7 and provides practical discussions that are appropriate to earlier AIX releases.

Introduction Course Outline

Objectives

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
Perform and restore system backups
Use the AIX error log as a tool in problem determination
Configure Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) networking

Audience

This intermediate course is intended for experienced UNIX system administrators who need training to support their transition to supporting AIX running on POWER processor based systems in a multiuser POWER (System p) partitioned environment.

Prerequisites

You should be able to use basic UNIX commands to:

Execute basic AIX commands
Manage files and directories
Use the vi editor
Use redirection, pipes, and tees
Use the utilities find and grep
Use command and variable substitution
Set and change Korn shell variables
Write simple shell scripts

The above skills can be acquired by attending AIX Basics (AU130) or (AN100) or through equivalent AIX/UNIX knowledge.

In addition, you are expected to have hands-on experience administering a UNIX operating system (such as Solaris, HP/UX, and others) including:User management and system security

Storage
Networking
System shutdown and restart
Backup and recovery
System task scheduling

Duration

Five days
