System Management Concepts:
Operating System and Devices
Introduction to AIX for BSD System Managers
The following tips can help you get started managing the system:
- Start by logging in as root at the graphics console.
- Perform system management from the system console until you become experienced
with the system. It is easier to work from the system console than a remote
terminal. Once you are experienced with the system, you can work remotely
from an xterm or an ASCII terminal.
- Take advantage of the several AIX facilities for system management
tasks. They include:
- System Management Interface Tool (SMIT). SMIT provides an interface between
system managers and configuration and management commands. SMIT can help system
managers perform most system administration tasks. For more information, see
the System Management Interface Tool.
- The Object Data Manager (ODM). The ODM provides routines that access objects
from the ODM databases. The ODM databases contain device configuration information.
For more information about how the ODM databases store device information,
see Devices.
- The System Resource Controller (SRC). The SRC provides access and control
of daemons and other system resources through a single interface. For more
information, see the System Resource Controller Overview.
