Kursbeskrivning: Power Systems for AIX - Virtualization I: Implementing Virtualization (ILO)

NOTE: THIS IS AN INSTRUCTOR-LED ONLINE COURSE. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THIS COURSE.

This course provides an overview of the PowerVM edition's features on POWER6 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.

You are also given additional details about PowerVM features that were introduced in Power Systems for AIX I: LPAR Configuration and Planning (AN11).

You must have advanced system administration experience with AIX V5.3 or AIX 6.You should attend one of the following courses:

• Power Systems for AIX II: Implementation and Administration (AN12SE)
• Power Systems for AIX III: Advanced Administration and Problem Determination (AN15SE)
• AIX Jumpstart for UNIX Professionals (AW18)

Alternatively, you 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 (AN21SE)

You 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 (AN11SE)
