AIX hints, tips, questions - and Answers

Board for announcements, comments and support of opensource software packaged as aixtools.

Installation, Update and Migration

Board for discussing AIX performance tools

Focus on AIX security mechanisms - how to use them; how they compare with other *NIX

Managing POWER Virtualization: Includes HMC, IVM, LPAR, DLPAR. Also includes WPAR and VWPAR (workload partitions)

A forum for discussing open source and commericial applications not covered elsewhere. Examples: Apache, mysql, db2, php, AIX Toolbox, Domino, etc.

This board combines the old Power5, Power6 and Power7 boards - as the management of these systems is very similar (while Power4 is quite different). The differences are mainly in the features, not in the management - and I believe that a combined board has more value than a separate board.

Firmware updates, partitioning (HMC Version 3), etc.

chrp models support AIX thru AIX 5.3; mca and rspc models support AIX thru AIX 5.1 (i.e., Power 4 and above is needed for AIX 6)
