based on UNIX ystem ! "ith #$%B& compatible e'tensions$

AIX runs on %bit or *#bit IBM +-./ or +o"er+0 0+Us (depending on version) and

can address up to % terabytes (1B) of random access memory$

Where is IBM-AIX used and why?

AIX (Advanced Interactive eXecutive) is popular among Server Side Operating Systems$

AIX is the 1+ most choice for many .nterprise Application$

AIX is used in all industries li2e I1, B+, 1.3.0M, 4!./NM.N1, BAN5IN4,

6INAN0., .0U/I1I., INU/AN0., AU1MBI3., /..A/07, +7A/MA,

/.1AI3, MANU6A01U/IN4, 07.MI0A3, etc

time$

Any server side perating ystem is selected on basis of it9s uptime$ AIX has proved uptime

of ;;$;;;;; "hereas other has upto ;;$;;$

AIX runs on special hard"are called +-./ MA07IN.$ A robust, fastest and long run

server 2no"n as peries Machines$

AIX is having many advance features li2e 3!M, !irtuali<ation (!I), 0lustering (7A0M+),AN connectivity, highest ecurity$

What is reuired t" run IBM-AIX?

1o install : run IBMAIX a "ell euipped IBM server setup is reuired$ (e$g$ +o"er>*>C

Machine, 7M0 erver, 1erminal Machines, !3AN "itch, etc)$ ?ou cannot install AIX on

your personal machine as it needs a IBM hard"are$

AIX is fully learn "ith hands on practice on 3I!. server$ AIX has less theory but need a

conceptual understanding of environment$

What is "urse time $ durati"n ". IBM-AIX?

6or any entry level person it ta2es #D hours guidance under trainer and #DD hours handson



practice on 3I!. server$

-ith to % hours of daily efforts one can be at good level after % months$

What is pre-reuisite t" 'earn IBM-AIX?

6or ne" person it "ill be good if one have good understanding of any 3inu' version or UNIX

or 3A/I operating system e'posure$

1here is nothing li2e if you do not 2no" any of operating system, as ysAdmin.'perts "ill

ta2e you to comform level of basics of AIX so that you can understand AIX$

What are dai'y ativities IBM-AIX Administrat"r per."rms?

Any Administrator commonly "or2 as 3E upport, 3 upport, 3% upport depending on his

e'perience$ Based on his position he "ill be allocated "ith predefined privilages and they

commonly perform follo"ing tas2s8

User administration (setup and maintaining account)

Maintaining system

!erify that peripherals are "or2ing properly

Fuic2ly arrange repair for hard"are in occasion of hard"are failure

Monitor system performance

0reate file systems

Install soft"are

0reate a bac2up and recover policyMonitor net"or2 communication

Update system as soon as ne" version of and application soft"are comes out

Implement the policies for the use of the computer system and net"or2

etup security policies for users$ A sysadmin must have a strong grasp of computer security

(e$g$ fire"alls and intrusion detection systems)$

What is s" speia' a("ut the system administrat"r a"unt?

1he root account has full (unrestricted) access, so he>she can do anything "ith system$

6or e'ample, root can remove critical system files$ In addition, there is no "ay you can

recover file e'cept using tape bac2up$

/" Sys Admin guys needs t" write "de "r pr"gramming?

ystem administrators are notG0oo2ie cutting soft"are engineers or developers$

It is not usually "ithin your duties to design ne" application soft"are$ 7o"ever, many tas2s

for system administration can be automated using perl or shell scripts$

6or e'ample8

0reate ne" users

/esetting user pass"ords

3oc2>unloc2 user accounts

Monitor server security

Monitor special services etc

Most important s2ill to a system administrator is +roblem determination : implementing a



/I471 solution to problem in given time$ 1his can some time lead into all sorts of constraints

and stress$

-hen "or2station or server goes do"n, you are called to solve the problem$ ?ou should able

to uic2ly and correctly$ diagnose the problem$ ?ou must figure out "hat is "rong and ho"

best it can be fi'ed in small amount of time$

What are "urse "ntents?

6or any entry level person the international course codes referred by IBM are AUE%, AUE# :
