AN14G - AIX Jumpstart for UNIX Professionals

Overview

Duration: 5 days

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.

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 TCP/IP networking
