AIX Jumpstart for UNIX Professionals
Course Code: AN14G
Duration: 5 Days
Prerequisites:
• 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
Course Description:
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.
Course 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
Intended 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.
