Configuring an AIX Client System for User Authentication and Management Through LDAP 20041209065347 IBM

This paper focuses on configuring AIX systems as clients of directory servers, both IBM Directory servers and third party LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) servers, to provide readers with a complete picture of how to configure and exploit the AIX LDAP security solution. AIX first implemented a LDAP security load module in version 4.3. The implementation worked well in a uniform AIX environment. However, users have found it hard to configure AIX systems to work with third party LDAP servers. This shortcoming is primarily the result of the proprietary schema used by AIX.

AIX File Systems: Back Up and Restore Using a NetApp Filer in a SAN Environment 20040921030001 Network Appliance

This paper details the implementation of file system backup and restore using AIX's journaling file systems (JFS and Enhanced JFS) with NetApp filer Snapshot technology to perform backup and recovery using iSCSI and Fibre Channel filers. A Network appliance filer offers the UNIX administrator using AIX LVM and JFS compelling advantages in terms of backup and recovery. Use of Snapshot technology, combined with conventional backup-to-tape techniques, can dramatically optimize the server backup operation.

IBM eserver pSeries and AIX Performance Considerations 20040302121921 IBM

This paper outlines the results obtained from the analysis of AIX 5L v5.1 on maintenance level 5.1.15. This is designed to characterize the performance of AIX 5L v5.1 and, where possible, provide comparisons with previous versions of AIX. All testing was conducted in a laboratory environment. Note that actual performance results in user environments will vary.
