This course provides an overview of the PowerVM edition's features on POWER6 and POWER7 processor-based systems. It explains the new features and benefits of virtualization including processor virtualization, Integrated Virtual Ethernet, Virtual I/O Server, and virtual devices, such as virtual Ethernet, virtual SCSI, and virtual Fibre Channel adapters. Basic and advanced configurations of the Virtual I/O Server and its clients are discussed including various availability options.

Expand your knowledge about PowerVM features that were introduced in Power Systems for AIX I: LPAR Configuration and Planning (AN110) / Power Systems for AIX I: LPAR Configuration and Planning (ILO) (AX110).

This course provides lectures and hands on labs in a face-to-face classroom setting. The course is also offered in a live virtual classroom environment (ILO - Instructor Led Online) with hands-on labs Power Systems for AIX - Virtualization I: Implementing Virtualization (ILO) (AX301).

If you are enrolling in a Self Paced Virtual Classroom or Web Based Training course, before you enroll, please review the Self-Paced Virtual Classes and Web-Based Training Classes on our Terms and Conditions page, as well as the system requirements, to ensure that your system meets the minimum requirements for this course.

You should have advanced system administration experience with AIX 5.3 or later. This prerequisite may be met by attending one of the following courses:

• Power Systems for AIX II: AIX Implementation and Administration (AN120) or Power Systems for AIX II: AIX Implementation and Administration (ILO) (AX120)
• AIX Jumpstart for UNIX Professionals (AN140) or AIX Jumpstart for UNIX Professionals (ILO) (AX140)
• or you must have equivalent AIX and LPAR skills.

General TCP/IP knowledge is strongly recommended. This prerequisite may be met by attending AIX 5L TCP/IP I: Configuration (AU070) or TCPIP for AIX Administrators (AN210) / TCPIP for AIX Administrators (ILO) (AX210).

You are also expected to have logical partition administration skills on POWER6 or POWER7 processor-based systems, which can be obtained by attending Power Systems for AIX I: LPAR Configuration and Planning (AN110) or Power Systems for AIX I: LPAR Configuration and Planning (ILO) (AX110).
