My apologies. I should have put more context around my question. I was trying to keep my post concise and to the point. Given your lengthy response, I will respond in kind. I am not sure where you got the idea that I am trying to cram and fake my way but I can assure you, that is absolutely not the case. My background is in Directory Servers and IAM products. My last position was administering Ubuntu and Centos systems. My entire career has been spent working in Unix environments of all flavors mostly from an application engineering perspective. The position I am interviewing for was presented to my by a recruiter, as many are, who found my resume online. There is nothing in my resume that mentions anything about administering AIX other than from working with applications on AIX systems. When contacted by the recruiter, I presented him with the facts and told him up front that I had never performed AIX administration and that my only unix admin experience was with Ubuntu and Centos systems. I was very up front with him and gave him several references who could attest to my background and work ethic. I can assure you that I am not trying to present myself as an experienced AIX admin. I am well aware of the fact that this is an impossibility. My goal is to do my research and present myself as being, at least somewhat, intelligent of the task at hand. You do mention presenting oneself with integrity which I absolutely agree with 100%. I am going into this interview with base knowledge, a strong work ethic and a desire to learn. Again, my only goal with doing research is to be able to present myself with some aspect of base intellect at the position.
To reiterate my question which really wasnt answered
is PowerHA applicable on all newer AIX systems as a tool for setting up high availability and failover or is PowerHA specific to Power systems.
I am well that this is most likely a stupid question to the firmly entrenched and highly knowledgeable but I am a firm believer of the old axiom "there are no stupid questions"
I should also mention that I do not know what systems the position will be working with which is why I am asking the question in the first place

NAME
cmhaltserv - halt a service from the high availability package halt script
SYNOPSIS
cmhaltserv [-v] service_name
DESCRIPTION
cmhaltserv is used only in the high availability package halt script to halt a service.
To stop a package service, the running package halt script must be running as superuser(UID=0), or as a user with access policy of
FULL_ADMIN allowed in the cluster configuration file. See access policy in cmquerycl(1) or cmmakepkg(1).
If any part of a package is marked down, the package halt script is executed as part of the recovery process.
This command sends a SIGTERM signal to the PID and the corresponding process group of the monitored service. If this signal is caught by
the running application, it is up to the application to ensure that the processes will be terminated.
Options
cmhaltserv supports the following options:
-v Verbose output will be displayed.
RETURN VALUE
cmhaltserv returns the following values:
0 Successful completion.
1 Command failed.
EXAMPLES
To halt the service db1, do the following:
# Halt the service db1
cmhaltserv db1
This line should only be executed within a package halt script.
AUTHOR
cmhaltserv was developed by HP.
