The addition of AIX 5L in a logical partition (LPAR) to the IBM eServer iSeries family brings a new level of server consolidation and Information Technology (IT) asset utilization. Learn how to plan, implement, and provide basic system management for an AIX 5L LPAR on IBM eServer i5 in this hands-on course. Understand the hardware and sizing requirements for AIX 5L on eServer i5. Create AIX 5L LPARs utilizing both virtual and direct attach system resources. Understand how to apply new LPAR concepts, such as capped and uncapped processors, server and client virtual adapters, and partition profiles to AIX 5L workloads. Install AIX 5L and learn basic disk management, performance, system recovery, troubleshooting, and backups skills.
