AIX

hi guys, i would like to take the exam in object, can you pls suggest me what kind of book or documentation i need to read to know all aix 7 features? (apart hand-on experience)

Thanks so much
Giulio

Here you can see the exam objective:
IBM: Test 000-221: AIX 7 Administration

I don't think there's any RedBook specifically for AIX 7. But you can follow RedBooks sg246191, sg247940, sg247965, redp4815 for AIX 6 administration plus PowerVM. RedBook sg247910 is the differences guide from earlier version of AIX to AIX 7.

For Blade hardware check out this link:
IBM Redbooks | BladeCenter

If you have worked on UNIX platforms, you will do fine for basic administration tasks. 2-3 years of experience on AIX/Power system is recommended before taking the IBM certification as you need to know the hardware very well.

Best of luck!

yes i have over 5 years of experience on hp-ux and solaris, then as you say there will be no problem for basic administration.
But i need to know blade hardware and other aix platform(i have worked on rs/6000 only aix 5.3)
and thank you so much for help i hope that exam certification will go well

5 years hp and solaris experience will help you pretty much not at all on AIX - you need AIX experience and AIX ticks VERY different from the Unixes you know. So I would recommend you start with the basic sysadmin- and certification study guide redbooks, or you are not going to pass your certification any time soon.
