Required
skills
You
must have advanced system administration experience with AIX
6 or AIX 7. This prerequisite can be met by attending
one of the following courses:
Power
Systems for AIX II: Implementation and Administration (AN12G)
Power
Systems for AIX III: Advanced Administration and Problem Determination
(AN15G)
AIX
Jumpstart for UNIX Professionals (AN14G)
Alternatively,
you must have equivalent AIX and LPAR
skills.
General
TCP/IP knowledge is strongly recommended.
You
are also expected to have logical partition administration skills on Power
Systems servers, which can be obtained by attending Power Systems for AIX
I: LPAR Configuration and Planning (AN11G).
