This book is intended for system administrators responsible for installing, configuring, and maintaining the RS/6000 SP system. It assumes the administrators have a working knowledge of AIX or UNIX and experience with network systems.
The System Administrators Guild of USENIX (SAGE), has developed a classification for skills required for system administrators. Administrators of RS/6000 SP systems are expected to have level II skills (Junior System Administrator) or greater depending on the complexity of your site and system. See Appendix A, SAGE job descriptions for more information on these job skills.
