Instructor Course Overview
This is a five-day course for system administrators with little or no
knowledge of administration concepts or skills. The course requires
the students to be familiar with AIX from an end-users point of view
(for example, to be able to use the
vi
editor).
The course has been structured so as to allow a system administrator
to setup and manage their RISC System/6000 including installation of
the software, adding all the devices and users, managing and
monitoring the disk space, and implementing correct backup policies.
The Networking Overview topic is intended as an overview, simply to
show the students what more can be achieved on the system and as a
lead in to the Configuring TCP/IP in the AIX Environment course,
AU05/Q1107.
Each session can be broken into three main subtopics. At the
beginning of each unit the theory and concepts required for that topic
are covered. Then, using the knowledge that they have just gained,
students are shown how the concepts can be implemented, setup, and
managed. The final subtopic deals with very basic problem
determination issues and solutions are given to the more common
basic problems. Students should be encouraged to document their
system setup as a good system administrative practice, and to
encourage and help them do this, commands are given in the units
which can be run to obtain this information.
Students who are interested in taking problem determination further
and tackle more complex system administrative tasks, should attend
the AIX Ver. 4 (or Ver. 5) Advanced System Administration course.
This course contains information as it applies to the classical and the
PCI RS/6000® hardware platforms. Where appropriate, a unit or
exercise may contain a separate topic for each platform to address the
differences; otherwise, information for both hardware platforms are
woven into the discussion.
With this release of the course, the materials have been updated to
support AIX 5.1. Two new appendices have been added in this version
of the course. One covers the startup differences with AIX startup on
Itanium based systems. The other covers the newly added System V
print subsystem support. Both of these appendices have exercises
with them if the students have time and want to test the features.
