    Would suggest you attend some formal training. AIX is not something most people can pick up with self-study especially advanced areas like lvm, ha & virt.

    Unfortunately, AIX will not really run on another hardware platform either... getting your foot in the door into AIX is expensive... easiest way would be a class or finding an old AIX workstation on eBay...

    If you are a member of partnerworld you can use the virtual loaner program (called VLP) to get access to your very own AIX (or Linux on Power) system. The VLP uses IBM virtualization technologies to provide you with a system with root access for beta testing, porting, or education. It is free, you get an isolated system with a VPN connection.

    It might be an option you want to look into. Here is the place to start. It includes short videos with step by step instructions for scheduling blocks of time (up to 2 weeks). You can also save and restore your system in between sessions.
