Skills Taught
 
  • Describe important concepts associated with managing POWER5 System p systems, such as APV, which includes micropartitioning, Virtual Input/Output (I/O) Server, virtual Small Computer System Interface (SCSI), Share Ethernet adapter and Partition Load Manager LPAR
  • Describe virtual console, Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN), and dynamic partitioning.
  • Use the LPAR Validation tool to plan an LPAR configuration
  • Describe the functions of the HMC
  • Configure and manage the HMC, including users and permissions, software, startup and shutdown, remote access features, network configuration and private network configuration, security features, HMC backup and restore options, and the HMC disaster recovery procedure
  • Describe the rules associated with allocating resources, including dedicated processors, processing units for shared-processor LPARs (or micro-partitions), memory, and I/O for AIX 5L and Linux partitions
  • Describe and configure a basic Virtual I/O Server configuration
  • Configure and manage LPARs using the HMC Graphical User Interface (GUI) and HMC commands
  • Configure VLANs and virtual SCSI disks
  • Describe key system architectural elements of the POWER5-based hardware as they relate to configuring LPAR resources
  • Interpret physical and AIX location codes and relate to the key hardware components
  • Power on and power off the POWER5 system
  • Configure and test the service tools on the HMC
  • Use the HMC to backup and restore partition data
  • Install AIX 5L and Linux in an LPAR
