• The performance detective: Where does it hurt?

  Learn how describing performance problems on an AIX system can help you diagnose and fix them. Pinpoint the real issues with your system, and discover how the key to understanding why a system is responding poorly is knowing where to look and what questions to ask.

• Hardware migration using alt_disk_copy

  Examine how to use the alt_disk_copy utility to migrate your rootvg disks to new hardware, and learn how this method is practicable when you do not have the facility or resource of using remote network installs.

• VIOS disk mapping in a nutshell

  Examine a simple way to map disk devices within VIOS servers, without caring about name patterns. Although name patterns are important, learn how to bypass them if necessary when troubleshooting servers.

• Optimizing internal AIX storage

  Plan and design internal storage to reduce I/O bottlenecks and inefficient space utilization. Although AIX servers run faster and do more than previous AIX servers, the simple process for optimizing internal storage can still make all the difference.

• Using Storix: Recovering AIX from a backup

  Recovering or building new machines running AIX is a straightforward process when you use Storix, a commercial product that provides a backup and recovery solution for AIX.

• Running with Tripwire: Using Tripwire to monitor file changes

  Get to know Tripwire, an intrusion detection system that monitors for file or directory changes based on the policy provided by the system administrator. Discover why Tripwire is a good tool to have in your toolbox.

• Managing VLANs on mission-critical shared Ethernet adapters

  Make VLAN tagging modular to avoid downtime. Learn how you can attach a new virtual adapter with its new VLAN to the shared Ethernet adapter without downtime by using separate virtual adapters for each tagged VLAN.

• Manage LPAR startup order and validate resource allocation with system profiles

  Create a system profile through the Hardware Management Console and manage your LPAR startup order. Learn how profiles can alert you to resource conflicts, and how you can use them to reconfigure server hardware quickly and easily.
