Aix Certification - Aix Server

Introduction

This 4-day Power Systems for AIX: Virtualization I: Implementing Virtualization course is designed to teach individuals the necessary benefits and features of virtualisation and will discuss in detail the Integrated Virtual Ethernet, the virtual I/O server, the processor virtualization, and virtual devices which will include virtual Ethernet and virtual SCSI adapters. An in depth analysis of the virtual I/O server and its clients will discussed during the course and will include various availability options.

Pre-Requisites

• Advanced system administration experience (especially with AIX V5.3 or 6) is beneficial, prior to attending this course.
• Logical partitioning experience is needed.
• Overall IP/TCP knowledge is highly recommended.
