According to IBM's certification web (http://www-03.ibm.com/certify/tests/obj223.shtml), these are the redbooks recomended:

Bold ones are those I think are more important, and cover most of the objectives.

As far as I've seen, they're mixing exams 180 and 222 into this new 223.

Hi, these 3 bold-marked redbooks are good ones,
you should read them carefully.

Power6 Virtualization can be fascinating if you know the features
and how to handle them in AIX.

Try these commands to get a quick overview of the LPAR & managed system:

lsconf | head -20 # Type/Serial, Proc Type&Speed, Kernel
lparstat -i # Virtual/Phys CPU & Memory Resources
lsslot -c slot # Virtual & Internal Adapters & Locations
lsslot -c pci # PCI Adapters & Locations

Dear AIX gurus,
Based on you valubale experience, in order to pass, can we just concentrate on these 3 bolded redbooks or we need to also glance/red through the other listed redbooks. Would really appreciate you can shed some lights. Many thanks in advance.
