This course provides an overview of the PowerVM edition's features on POWER6 processor-based systems. It explains the new features and benefits of virtualization and discusses: the processor virtualization, the Integrated Virtual Ethernet, the virtual I/O server, and the virtual devices such as the virtual Ethernet and virtual SCSI adapters. Basic and advanced configurations of the virtual I/O server and its clients are discussed including various availability options.

Students must have advanced system administration experience with AIX V5.3 or AIX 6. This prerequisite may be met by attending one of the following courses:

AIX 6 System Administration I: Implementation (AU14)
AIX 6 System Administration II: Problem Determination (AU16)
AIX Jumpstart for UNIX Professionals (AW18)
or students may have equivalent AIX and LPAR skills.

General TCP/IP knowledge is strongly recommended. This prerequisite may be met by attending:

AIX Configuring TCP/IP (AU07)

Students are also expected to have logical partition administration skills on POWER processor-based systems, which can be obtained by attending the following course:

Power Virtualization I: LPAR Planning and Configuration (AN11)
