Opleiding: AIX Network Installation Management Concepts and Configuration [TDS_AN22G]
OVERVIEW
The primary goal of this course is to provide the student with a working knowledge of the fundamental capabilities of the Network Installation Management (NIM) facility of the AIX 7.3 operating system.
This course uses a combination of instructor lectures and lab machine exercises to provide the student with practical background knowledge of the topics covered. The lecture portion of this course will cover all the information required to create and maintain a Network Installation Management (NIM) environment.
The course will start with the students examining an existing NIM master. Then, the students will install the filesets required to configure a system to serve as a NIM master and configure NIM resources required to perform NIM operations. They will also have an opportunity to perform several key NIM related tasks. Each lecture is reinforced with extensive hands-on lab exercises which provide practical experience. The idea is to build a NIM environment (NIM master, NIM resources, and NIM clients), then use the NIM master and NIM resources to perform NIM operations on the clients.
