Richard,
Everyone take a deep breath before you laugh....I am the AIX person.
I'm sure you all started with the same knowledge of AIX as me. I know I'm
very much lacking in this area, but I got this server dumped on me without
any notice. I'm just one of the NT guys and could take care of ADSM/TSM
easily if it were on that OS. Unfortunately it's not...or should I say
fortunately.
Not only do I feel AIX is a better platform for TSM, it has given me a
chance to expand my knowledge. From what I can tell AIX is not as widespread
as many of the Unix platforms, and I don't know anything about them either,
but it still seems like a stable and robust OS.
The company has given me an IBM education card that allows me to take as
many classes as I want in the next year. I don't know how many I can shove
into this pea brain during that time, with all the work I have to do, but I
plan on using the first book at least. Hopefully I can learn enough to get
comfortable.
I'm not one to go off and start mucking around in an area I have no
knowledge of. That's why I call AIX support and am constantly asking, what
may seem to some, simple little questions. But I'd rather look stupid asking
them instead of looking stupid rebuilding something I screwed up because I
didn't ask.
As always, thanks for all the help. You guys are great.
