Learn about it before you need it
New products and useful tools are not intuitive. You need this book not only for practical implementation but more for what is new and different.
Red books are not 100% foolproof as they are written by people trying out the new products and differences and writing what they find. It is much better focused and organized than Google however it may not be accurate. This book cannot keep up with subtle changes but at least gives an overview of what is available that the time of publishing.
At this time of this review, 7.1 is the latest version and has many great improvements (differences).
Differences mentioned:
- Domain Role-Based Access Control
Better separation of administration at the cost of more maintaining roles.
- Workload Partition enhancements
Various types of partitions including older operating systems.
- Topas performance tool enhancements
More resources to monitor to find subtle problems and performance tweaking.
- Terabyte segment support
People are just now coming to volumes that the original UNIX never dreamed of.
- Cluster Aware AIX functionality
It comes in handy as we become more virtual.
I suggest the price and time peruse this book will page for itself in no time and save a lot of experimental time.
