Course Overview
The IBM course Mastering IBM AIX: Advanced Administration and Problem Determination (ITS-AN15G) delivers advanced skills in system availability and problem determination for experienced AIX administrators. Designed for AIX system administrators, system support personnel, and contract support professionals with at least six months of hands-on experience, this course dives deep into critical areas such as the Object Data Manager (ODM) database, Logical Volume Manager (LVM) conflict resolution, and boot failure recovery. With 91% of enterprise employers planning to hire mainframe talent in the next two years, according to The Futurum Group (2024), expertise in AIX remains in high demand across financial, healthcare, and government sectors that rely on IBM Power Systems for mission-critical workloads.
Students engage with core IBM technologies including the Hardware Management Console (HMC), Network Installation Manager (NIM), System Management Interface Tool (SMIT), and JFS2 filesystems, with extensive hands-on labs conducted in live AIX environments. Learners configure NIM servers for network booting, perform alternate disk installations, create and manage JFS2 snapshots, and simulate system crashes to practice memory dump analysis. A key lab scenario involves diagnosing and repairing LVM-ODM configuration mismatches that can cause boot failures, equipping students with real-world problem-solving skills. The course also covers advanced techniques like multibos for minimizing maintenance windows and restoring system integrity after disk failures.
This training prepares candidates for the IBM AIX v7.3 Administrator Specialty certification (exam code S2113000), a globally recognized credential that validates high-level AIX administration expertise. Certified professionals command an average base salary of $134,000 in the U.S., reflecting the specialized nature of these skills. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, official IBM courseware, and optional 1-on-1 mentoring, ensuring every student gains mastery. Upon completion, graduates are positioned to advance into senior AIX administration, infrastructure architecture, or consultancy roles within enterprise IT organizations.
