Learn to install, customize, and administer the AIX operating system in a multiuser POWER (System p) partitioned environment. This course is based on AIX 6.1 running on a Power6 system managed by HMC version 7. This course is also appropriate for prior releases of AIX and has a high practical content.

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.
