Chetain did you look at the redbooks section of the IBM website?

The VUE www (dot) vue (dot) com; virtual university enterprises with which you can register for certifications also gives a trial exam before you do the final exam.

I am reading IBM red book and trying out the things practically. But I think the questions are not quite straight forward while giving the exam, so I;d like to go thru some saple questions

Chetjain you can post some sample questions from the redbook which you are interested in?
Would you like to go through multiple choice or do you like to learn by open questions?
Do you have access to an IBM system with AIX on it? On market websites you can buy excess old systems
with minimum requirements. (just a thought when you do not have access to it)

Yeah, I had access to IBM machine running AIX on it. I'd like to learn by multiple choice questions and open questions also.
Thanks!!!

A few open questions for you:

LVM: what are the steps to change a harddrive successfully? (which commands do you use)

Network: you suspect network issues as a remote application does not respond? which commands do you use to check the network performance.

Filesystem: what does the /etc do and why is it write protected?

GL.

Another thing came to mind chetjain; what you can not find in Redbooks or maybe you will; keyboard combinations.
What are they in AIX and what are they good for. (outside of the obvious answer to make your life easier)

Shakti

Papers are to be found under the redbook section of IBM.
Search for AIX certification under their site.

You need to have access to a machine running AIX; there are cheap
second hand machine to be found under a market site like ebay.

The certification location is to be found if you enroll in VUE.
http://www.vue.com
Your sponsor would be ibm; once enrolled in the site (not for an exam)
you have an oversight of where the locations are in your area.

I hope this answers your questions.
