Device management
You can use commands to manage the different devices that are available
in AIX® . Some of the devices
that you can manage include Logical Volume Manager, file systems, tape drives,
and printers.
What's new Logical Volume Manager Logical volume storage Paging space and virtual memory AIX uses virtual memory to address more memory than is physically available in the system.File systems file system is a hierarchical structure (file tree) of files and directories. Workload manager Workload Manager (WLM) is designed to provide the system administrator with increased control over how the scheduler virtual memory manager (VMM) and the disk I/O subsystem allocate resources to processes. Device nodes nodes . Each node is a logical subsystem of devices, where lower-level devices have a dependency on upper-level devices in child-parent relationships. Device location codes location code is a path from the CPU drawer or system unit through the adapter, signal cables, and the asynchronous distribution box (if there is one) to the device or workstation. This code is another way of identifying physical devices.Setting up an iSCSI offload adapter iSCSI software initiator and software target .PCI hot plug management Multiple Path I/O paths . Targeted device configuration cfgmgr command can be used with the -c flag as a connection option for a limited scope of targeted configuration of I/O devices.Tape drives USB device support AIX operating system supports Universal Serial Bus (USB) devices. Caching storage data Login names, system IDs, and passwords Common Desktop Environment Common Desktop Environment (CDE) , you can access networked devices and tools without having to be aware of their location. You can exchange data across applications by simply dragging and dropping objects.
