AIX Jumpstart for UNIX/Linux Professionals Course Overview This IBM AIX Jumpstart for Experienced UNIX/Linux Administrators training course is targeted at cross-training experienced HP-UX,SUN Solaris and other UNIX Administrators who wish to implement and manage systems capable of running the AIX Operating System. Students attending this course should therefore have a good understanding and experience of managing and running UNIX like systems. Reference will be made to the AIX commands required to administer the system,although practical work will concentrate on using the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) to achieve the course objectives. Although the course is based on AIX Version 7.1,it is also appropriate for prior releases of AIX. Exercises and examples are used throughout the course to give practical hands-on experience with the techniques covered.

COURSE OBJECTIVE:
Course Objectives On completion of the AIX Jumpstart for UNIX/Linux Professionals course the delegate will have practical experience of the Systems Management Interface Tool (SMIT),allowing them to administer an AIX System.

TARGET AUDIENCE:
Who will the Course Benefit? Experienced System Administrators and other Technical IT staff who need to cross-train to be able to implement and manage systems capable of running the AIX Operating System. Some shell programming experience will also prove advantageous; this can be gained on the AIX Shell Programming course.

COURSE PREREQUISITES:
Requirements Delegates must have recent in-depth practical experience of administrating UNIX in a network environment on another UNIX platform such as HP-UX,SUN or Solaris.
