These courses are being delivered by an IBM Global Training Provider

Learn to implement advanced PowerVM features such as Active Memory Sharing, Shared Dedicated Processors, Multiple Shared Processor Pools, N_Port Virtualization, and Remote Live Partition Mobility.

This course focuses on the features that relate to the performance of the POWER6 processor, AIX 6.1, and the special monitoring, configuring, and tuning needs of logical partitions (LPARs). This course does not cover application monitoring and tuning.

You will learn skills to implement, measure, analyze, and tune PowerVM virtualization features for optimal performance on IBM System p servers.

You will also learn about the AIX 6.1 performance analysis and tuning tools that enable an administrator to take advantage of the Micro-Partitioning and other virtualization features of the System p servers.

Hands-on lab exercises reinforce each lecture and give the students practical experience.

This course is for anyone responsible for implementing and managing virtualization features on a System p server including:

  • AIX technical support individuals
  • System administrators
  • Systems engineers
  • System Architects

Students should complete:

  • Power Systems for AIX I: LPAR Planning and Configuration (AN11) or (AX11) or
  • Power Systems for AIX - Virtualization I: Implementing Virtualization (AN30) or (AX30)

or have equivalent LPAR skills

  • Describe the effect of the POWER6 virtualization features on performance and monitoring, such as: Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT), Micro-Partitioning, Multiple Shared Processor Pools (MSPP), shared dedicated capacity, Active Memory Sharing (AMS) and other virtualization features
  • Interpret the outputs of AIX 6.1performance monitoring and tuning tools used to view the impact of SMT, Micro-Partitioning, additional shared processor pool activations and device virtualization. The tools include: vmstat, iostat, sar, topas, trace, curt, mpstat, lparstat, smtctl
  • List various sources of information and support related to AIX 6.1 performance tools, system sizing, system tuning, and AIX 6.1 enhancements and new features
  • Perform a Live Partition Mobility between two different POWER6 servers
  • Describe the New features available with the Virtual I/O Server version 2.1 and version 2.2 such as: N_port ID Virtualization, Heterogeous Multi-threading, Virtual Tape devices, Active Memory sharing
  • Describe and implement the Active Memory Sharing feature

Power Systems for AIX - Virtualization II: Advanced PowerVM and Performance Training Course in Belgium

Belgium, or officially known as Kingdom of Belgium, is located in Northwestern Europe. With the country's 11.5 million population, Belgium is the 6th most densely populated country in Europe. The capital and largest city is Brussels. And other major and popular cities are Antwerp, Ghent, Charleroi, Liège, Bruges, Namur, and Leuven. The population of Belgium consists mostly of Flemings and Walloons. While the Flemings speak Dutch, the Walloons speak French.

The country is known for moules frites (mussels served with french fries) as well as waffles and of course; Belgian chocolate. Chocolate is one of Belgium’s main food exports. Another thing that Belgium is known for is its beautiful city Bruges. Bruges is one of Europe’s most well-preserved medieval towns and has its beautiful canals.

At Bilginç IT Academy, we understand the unique requirements of Belgium and incorporate innovative training methodologies to meet them.
