If AIX migrations are part of your world (or coming up soon), IBM has just released a new course worth checking out. *Mastering AIX Migrations* focuses on the practical side of planning, upgrading, and moving AIX systems with confidence and minimal disruption.
It’s built for AIX admins and infrastructure teams who want clear guidance, real-world scenarios, and best practices straight from IBM. Great for brushing up your skills or preparing for your next migration project.
Mastering AIX Migrations is a self-paced introductory course for AIX system administrators who need to plan and execute operating system migrations with confidence. The course focuses on migrating systems from AIX 7.2 to AIX 7.3, combining essential theory with hands-on, practical experience.
Students explore the available migration options, including conventional migrations using AIX installation media and network-based migrations using NIM and NIMADM. Hands-on labs provide real-world experience migrating an AIX system to AIX 7.3 using each of these approaches.
This course is best suited to administrators with prior AIX system administration experience. Familiarity with AIX Network Installation Management (NIM) is strongly recommended, and completing the AIX Network Installation Management Concepts and Configuration (AN22G) course is encouraged beforehand.
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
-
Describe AIX migration process requirements
-
Explain the different methods available for migrating to a newer version of AIX
-
Apply best practices for migrating and upgrading AIX
-
Perform a migration to AIX 7.3 using AIX installation media
-
Perform a migration to AIX 7.3 using NIM
-
Perform a migration to AIX 7.3 using NIMADM
Upon completion of the training you'll receive a badge confirming you have the demonstrated practical skills in planning and performing AIX migrations.
