Cursusbeschrijving: Power Systems for AIX - Virtualization I: Implementing Virtualization

This course provides an overview of the PowerVM editions features on POWER6/7 processor-based systems. It explains the new features and benefits of virtualization including the processor virtualization, the Integrated Virtual Ethernet, the Virtual I/O Server, and virtual devices, such as the virtual Ethernet and virtual SCSI adapters. Basic and advanced configurations of the Virtual I/O Server and its clients are discussed including various availability options.

Students are also given additional details about PowerVM features that were introduced in Power Systems for AIX I: LPAR Configuration and Planning (AN11V0BE).

Students must have advanced system administration experience with AIX V5.3, 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 (AN12V0BE)
• Power Systems for AIX II: Advanced Administration and Problem Determination (AN15V0BE)
• AIX Jumpstart for UNIX Professionals (AN14V0BE)

Alternatively, students must have equivalent AIX and LPAR skills.

General TCP/IP knowledge is strongly recommended. This prerequisite can be met by attending TCP/IP for AIX Administrators (AN21V0BE).

Students are also expected to have logical partition administration skills on POWER6 processor-based systems, which can be obtained by attending Power Systems for AIX I: LPAR Configuration and Planning (AN11V0BE).
