The Power Systems for AIX Virtualization II: Advanced PowerVM & Performance (AN31G) course is a five-day instructor-led training that provides an overview of the PowerVM edition's features on POWER processor-based systems.
This course also explains the new features and benefits of virtualization including processor virtualization, Virtual I/O Server, and virtual devices, such as virtual Ethernet, virtual SCSI, and virtual Fibre Channel adapters. Basic and advanced configurations of the Virtual I/O Server and its clients will also be discussed.
This course provides lectures and hands-on labs in an instructor lead course environment, either in a face-to-face classroom or in a live virtual classroom environment.
