  • AIX 6 System Administration II: Problem Determination (AU16)
  • AIX 5L Implementation Differences (AU37)
  • AIX 6 Jumpstart for UNIX Professionals (AW18)
  • or have equivalent AIX skills.

Students do not need any experience with logical partitioning.

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