Configure, customize, and administer AIX version 5L effectively using this expert resource
Use system management tools, work with network and distributed file systems, manage the user environment, tune and monitor the system, and much more.
I used AIX in the mid-’90s. I got pretty good at installations, SNA services, peripherals, and applications. Since then I switched to HP/UX and moves from versions 9 to 10 to 11; so I am familiar with today’s systems.
Well, it is a shocker but once again the AIX technology and their thrust into Linux and more web-based applications, not to mention hardware technology has once again leapfrogged past me in the AIX field.
The book itself is appropriately designed to bring you up to snuff as of its printing. The main thing about this book is that it assumes that you already know UNIX systems administration and some of the older versions of AIX as the commands and locations are shown do not have any explanation. The differences, however, are described in detail.
Still, the one advantage of SMIT and WebSM is that they are a good starting point and with a little tweaking you can bypass them next time with greater precision.
Regardless of where you are on the AIX food chain, this book is more than just a helpful reference for your library.
