Learn how to perform system administration in a Power Systems environment. Learn about the features of PowerVM Editions and how to configure and manage LPARs running AIX V7 or Linux using the Hardware Management Console (HMC). Objective - Describe important concepts that are associated with managing POWER processor-based systems, such as logical partitioning, dynamic partitioning, virtual devices, virtual processors, virtual consoles, virtual local area network (VLAN), and shared processors - Describe the features of the PowerVM editions - Describe the functions provided by the HMC - Configure and manage the HMC, including users and permissions, software, start and shutdown, remote access features, network configuration, security features, HMC backup and restore options, and the HMC reload procedure - Describe the rules that are associated with allocating resources, including dedicated processors, processing units for Micro-Partitioning, memory, physical and virtual I/O for AIX and Linux partitions - Configure and manage LPARs by using the HMC graphical user interface (GUI) and HMC commands - Power on and power off the Power Systems server - Use the HMC to back up and restore partition data - Perform dynamic LPAR operations (DLPAR)

This introductory course does not require any logical partitioning experience. General TCP/IP knowledge is strongly recommended. This prerequisite can be met by attending TCP/IP for AIX System Administrators (AN21G).
