Now, i'm a student, learning Aix very interestingly, so let me know in detail or else give me a link to learn.

Please direct me in a correct path to become an Aix system administrator in Indian Railways department.

Thank you.,

Another free suggestion from sys. admin point of view is: IBM Certification Study Guide - pSeries AIX System Administration
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg246191.pdf

and sure online AIX documentation:

Why is this confusing? Similar hierarchy exists with Solaris, Veritas Volume Manager and other volume managers.
