Mastering IBM AIX: Implementation and Administration [TDS_AN12G]

OVERVIEW

Learn to install, customize, and administer the AIX operating system in a multiuser IBM Power server partitioned environment.

The course is based on AIX 7.3 running on a IBM Power server managed by Hardware Management Console and provides practical discussions that are appropriate to earlier AIX releases.

Virtual Learning

This interactive training can be taken from any location, your office or home and is delivered by a trainer. This training does not have any delegates in the class with the instructor, since all delegates are virtually connected. Virtual delegates do not travel to this course, Global Knowledge will send you all the information needed before the start of the course and you can test the logins.
