Anyone got any good AIX books?

What reference books do you guys use?

I bought one recently called AIX 5L Administration.

The AIX Survival Guide is a little out of date but still well used in my office. Personally I use the O'Reilly book Unix in a Nutshell - not AIX specific, but essential for shell scripting.

IBM Redbook's are the best reference material to use, hands-down.

My favourite link is here :

I use it interactively, but also have a look at the pdf section.

There is a good performance tuning book called "AIX Performance Tuning" by Waters which is well worth a look. I don't know if it's still in print though!

Also, the course materials you get on AIX courses I always find quite useful!
