Power Systems for AIX II AIX Implementation and Administration Training in United States of America

This course is appropriate for anyone with system administrative duties implementing and managing an AIX operating system in a multiuser POWER (System p) partitioned environment.

You should be able to:

• Log in to an AIX system and set a user password
• Execute basic AIX commands
• Manage files and directories
• Use the vi editor
• Use redirection, pipes, and tees
• Use the utilities find and grep
• Use the command and variable substitution
• Set and change Korn shell variables
• Write simple shell scripts
• Use a graphic Common Desktop Environment (CDE) interface

These skills can be acquired by taking AIX Basics (AU13) or through equivalent AIX/UNIX knowledge.

In addition, it would be helpful (but not mandatory) that you be familiar with partitioning concepts and technology as taught in Power Virtualization I: LPAR Planning and Configuration (AN11)
