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
