IBM SAN ONLINE Training Introduction:
IBM SAN ONLINE Training is designed to bridge the knowledge gap between AIX/PowerVM education & Storage Management courses. The overall objective is to provide you a description of how AIX interacts with Fibre Channel storage devices. Along with this general view, we will look at common operational issues such as performance & problem solving from the perspective of an AIX administrator.
