I have been working as an unix admin on AIX for several years now but I didn't have the opportunity to work on all tech (because we didnt upgrade the HW or SW and never use WPAR and no cluster and we only have some old virtual server install and still running old version.
My team leader ask me to pass the AIX 6.1 sys admin and another test to be certified support expert.
I am very scared to failed them. even if I worked many years (7year) on AIX and pseries. I didnt much of a lot of installation or upgrade OS or using new technologie as we can't.
I know AIX etc but you know on daily basis I use man of the command I dont know all the command by heart only the one we use daily errpt, lslpp, oslevel etc you know what I mean
I saw on sample example some questions that I am absolutly not capable of knowing the answer... I am wondering how they came up with those questions ? in reality we never use those type of command for example this one
Which command can be used to show volume group information about filesystems and OS levels for a specified mksysb called server1.mksysb?
A.lsmksysb -lf server1.mksysb
B.restore -mrT server1.mksysb
C.listbackup -fT server1.mksysb
D.listvgbackup -l server1.mksysb
Answer: A
have you ever used or new about the lsmksysb command ? Seriously if the test is in majority with this kind of question I am so xxxxxd!
If some of you have pass the AIX 6.1 what do you think I should work on the most regarding my skills on the latest technologies is not unfortunately at the level of others as I didnt use any NVID config virtualization (really no idea of the new vritualization) or WPAR etc
I am just very not comfortable and if I failed that will be very bad for me and my career and today finding a job is not easy!
Reading all the redbooks will be too much - if you can let me know which one need to be looked at to prepare for this exam will be very cool
