Linux for AIX System Administrators
Course Description
Overview
This course discusses the differences between AIX and Linux by comparing and contrasting the two operating systems. System administration is focus of this course, so typical tasks performed by a system administrator are covered. All comparisons are targeted towards the Red Hat Linux (RHEL) operating system (running on IBM Power servers). However, in many cases the concepts discussed here also apply to other Linux distributions (that run natively on IBM Power servers).
This is a jumpstart for Linux class for experienced AIX admins. The material is not intended as a complete replacement or substitute for more comprehensive Linux technical training provided by IBM and Linux vendors. At the end of the course students will have learned the foundation of many Linux administration tasks, enabling them to start their journey with Linux system administration and expand their skills moving forward. Students are then encouraged to attend further training to deepen their native Linux system administration skills.
Objectives
• Describe the differences between AIX and Linux (RHEL) system administration
• Perform RHEL base operating system installation
• Manage physical and logical devices
• Perform logical volume and file system management
• Create and manage user and group accounts
• Utilize administrative subsystems, including cron to schedule system tasks, and security to implement customized access of files and directories
• Perform system startup and shutdown
• Create and restore backups
• Configure TCP/IP
• Examine various system management tools
Audience
This is course is designed to provide existing AIX admins with an introduction to and an understanding of the basics of Linux system administration. This course is a valuable tool for system administrators and other technical support personnel who are already well versed in AIX and must now deal with Linux operating systems running on IBM Power.

Self-Paced Training Terms & Conditions
This is a Self-Paced virtual class; it is intended for students who do not need the support of a classroom instructor.
If you feel you would better benefit from having access to a Subject Matter Expert, please enroll in the Instructor-Led version instead. Minimal technical support is provided to address issues with accessing the platform or problems within the lab environment.
Before you enroll, review the system requirements to ensure that your system meets the minimum requirements for this course. AFTER YOU ARE ENROLLED IN THIS COURSE, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CANCEL YOUR ENROLLMENT. You are billed for the course when you submit the enrollment form. Self-Paced Virtual Classes are non-refundable. Once you purchase a Self-Paced Virtual Class, you will be charged the full price.
After you receive payment confirmation from LearnQuest, you will be sent further access instructions and time limits for your course from IBM.
IMPORTANT!!! If your course provides access to a hands-on lab (Virtual Lab Environment), you will have a specific number of days (varies course by course) on the remote lab platform to complete your hands-on labs. Do not start your lab until you are ready to use your lab time effectively. Time allotted in the virtual lab environment will be indicated once you log into your course. The self-paced format gives you the opportunity to complete the course at your convenience, at any location, and at your own pace. The course is available 24 hours a day.
If the course requires a remote lab system, the lab system access is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. When you are not using the elab system, ensure that you suspend your elab to maximize your hours available to use the elab system. Note: This does not add additional days to your Lab Environment time frame.
