Course Overview Learn advanced skills to plan, set up, and implement basic and advanced configurations of the Virtual Input/Output (VIO) Server and its clients, including high available solutions, when using the Advanced Power Virtualization features on IBM System p5 systems. Learn about the supported high available Virtual Small Computer System Interface (VSCSI) and Virtual Local Area Networks (VLAN) configurations and gives the students the opportunity to implement and test some of those solutions. Audience This is an expert course for individuals who manage and plan an IBM System p5 server running the AIX 5L V5.3 operating system. This includes: - AIX technical support individuals
- System administrators
- Syystems engineers
- System architects

- Define micro-partitioning/shares processor logical partitioned mode (LPAR)
- Discuss the benefit of simultaneous multithreading
- Define the VIO Server
- Configure virtual devices such as virtual Ethernet, shared Ethernet, and virtual disks
- Configure shared Ethernet failover
- Configure multiple VIO Servers for high availability
- Configure MultiPath Input/Output (MPIO) in a VIO client partition
- Back up the VIO Server
- Describe how to provide high availability for the different virtual devices (VSCI and VLAN) on IBM System p5.
- Design high available architectures and clusters using the VIO and VLAN features of the System p5.
- How to use High Availability Cluster Multiprocessing (HACMP) in improving availability for the virtualized servers
- Describe and configure Partition Load Manager (PLM)
- Use HMC, AIX and LINUX tools to evaluate the LPAR's environment
