Transforming Aspiring Tech Apprentices into Industry-Ready Professionals
This course enables students to install and manage open source software on the AIX operating system. This includes installing, updating, and removing RPM packages, from the IBM AIX Toolbox for Open Source Software.
This course is designed from a user's perspective. The students are not required to have any prior knowledge of AIX or any other UNIX-based system. The course units have been designed in a logical order to enable a novice user to identify the major components of AIX.The students are introduced to the operating system by logging in and out of the system and carrying out a few basic operations. The hierarchical tree structure is explained in detail, as well as functions that can be carried out on files and directories. The concept of a shell is introduced and the operations that are supported through it. The one editor that is covered is vi, as it is available on most UNIX platforms. The concept of users owning jobs and processes is introduced, including the environment in which processes execute
This course will teach you how to use shell scripts and utilities for practical system administration of AIX (or other UNIX) operating systems., After completing this course, you should be able to: • Distinguish Korn and bash shell specific features • Use utilities such as sed and awk to manipulate data • Understand system shell scripts such as /etc/shutdown • Write useful shell scripts to aid system administration
Provide focused training for experienced UNIX administrators on how to install, customize, and administer the AIX operating system in a multiuser IBM Power server partitioned environment. The course is based on AIX 7.3 running on a Power system managed by Hardware Management Console version 10 and provides practical discussions that are appropriate to earlier AIX releases.
An AIX Storage Management course focuses on how AIX interacts with physical and virtual storage devices, particularly Fibre Channel storage. It aims to equip AIX administrators with the knowledge to manage storage, solve common operational issues, and understand storage performance from an AIX perspective
Learn how to perform system administration in a Power Systems environment. Learn about the features of PowerVM Editions and how to configure and manage LPARs running AIX V7 or Linux using the Hardware Management Console (HMC)

This course provides advanced AIX system administrator skills with a focus on availability and problem determination. It provides detailed knowledge of the ODM database where AIX maintains so much configuration information. It shows how to monitor for and deal with AIX problems. There is special focus on dealing with Logical Volume Manager problems, including procedures for replacing disks. Several techniques for minimizing the system maintenance window are covered. While the course includes some AIX 7.3 enhancements, most of the material is also applicable to prior releases of AIX
As IBM Power continues to evolve, it is essential for IT professionals to stay up-to-date with the latest innovations. Our IBM PowerVM course is specifically designed to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of processor virtualization concepts, Virtual I/O Server configurations, and virtual devices such as virtual Ethernet, virtual SCSI, and virtual Fibre Channel adapters. Through a combination of lectures and hands-on labs, this course will equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary to become a successful IT technology professional. Whether you prefer face-to-face or online learning, our experienced instructors will guide you every step of the way as you explore basic and advanced configurations of the Virtual I/O Server and its clients, as well as various availability options
Develop the skills to measure, analyze, and tune common performance issues on IBM Power Systems running AIX.Learn about performance management concepts and techniques and how to use the basic AIX tools to monitor, analyze, and tune an AIX system. The course covers how virtualization technologies such as the PowerVM environment and workload partitions affect AIX performance management. Monitoring and analyzing tools discussed in this course include vmstat, iostat, sar, tprof, svmon, netstat, lvmstat, and topas. Tuning tools include schedo, vmo, ioo, no, and nfso.The course also covers how to use Performance Problem Reporting (PerfPMR) to capture a variety of performance data for later analysis. Each lecture is reinforced with extensive hands-on lab exercises which provide practical experience. The materials include AIX 7.1 enhancements and the exercises are executed on a POWER8 lab environment.
This course is designed to prepare students to install and configure a highly available cluster using PowerHA SystemMirror.
This course describes the concepts and implementation details of PowerHA SystemMirror for Linux on IBM Power Systems servers. The lecture content and hands-on labs cover the basics of the product’s architecture, prerequisites, the planning necessary for implementation, the configuration and customization steps to produce a highly available cluster, and the administration of the cluster. The course also includes a lecture-only unit describing the Smart Assists that are available, treating those products as likely/potential use cases.
This hands-on course is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of IBM PowerSC, including its features, benefits, and how to install, configure, and manage it. We will cover the four main pillars of PowerSC: Security, Compliance, threat protection, and Multifactor Authentication (MFA). File Integrity Monitoring (FIM), allow listing, block listing, endpoint detection and response (EDR) and anti-malware capabilities will also be covered.
This course describes the concepts and configuration details when implementing PowerVM Live Partition Mobility on POWER6 and POWER7 processor-based servers. Students will learn the requirements of Live Partition Mobility and will configure HMCs, Virtual I/O Servers, and partitions in preparation for performing active and inactive migrations. Live hands-on exercises will allow students to configure a lab environment and perform Live Partition Mobility operations
Learn the concepts of Logical Partitioning (LPAR) for Power Systems with IBM i. In this course you begin with an overview of LPAR on Power Systems, followed with more detailed information on configuration planning and implementation using hands-on exercises to create and implement logical partitions. Also, learn about partial processors, dynamic allocation and reallocation of memory, processors, interactive Commercial Processing Workloads (CPW), buses, Graphical User Interface (GUI), Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN), Host Ethernet Adapters (HEA) and System Planning Tool (SPT).
