About this ebook
"AIX Systems Administration and Architecture"
"AIX Systems Administration and Architecture" is a comprehensive guide for both aspiring and seasoned UNIX professionals seeking mastery over IBM’s industry-renowned AIX operating system. This authoritative volume delves into the core architectural pillars of AIX, offering readers a systematic understanding of kernel design, process and memory management, advanced file systems, and device configuration. The text guides the reader through both foundational and advanced concepts, examining the intricacies of system initialization, dynamic partitioning, and the Object Data Manager (ODM), ensuring a robust grasp of the operating system’s underpinnings.
The book’s practical focus is evident in its detailed coverage of day-to-day system management, including installation strategies, network configuration, logical partitioning, virtualization, storage management, and enterprise-scale security implementations. Readers benefit from expert insights into optimizing AIX performance, automating repetitive tasks using shell, Python, and popular DevOps tools, and achieving system resilience through PowerHA, high availability clusters, and disaster recovery planning. In-depth modules on patch management, dynamic resource allocation, and advanced networking solidify the book as an essential reference for mission-critical environments.
Throughout, the text balances theoretical depth with actionable methodologies, supported by real-world troubleshooting tactics and diagnostics. Users will find guidance on problem determination, forensic analysis, compliance auditing, and proactive monitoring—complemented by advanced scripting and integration with contemporary automation frameworks. Whether deploying new systems, fine-tuning virtualized workloads, or responding to operational challenges, this book equips AIX professionals with the knowledge, strategies, and confidence required to deliver robust, secure, and highly available UNIX infrastructure.
