I am not interested in the debate of whether or not certifications are
worth a bean. What I want to know is that, for someone who is NOT going
to be selling systems and who wants to be certified more on the
administration end than the developer end, what are the steps I should
pursue?

About all I could see here
http://www-03.ibm.com/certify/certs/ps_index.shtml
is "IBM Certified System Administrator - IBM i 6.1". Ok, I don't have
systems as old as 6.1, but I'll go with that perhaps it's not that big of
a jump to 7.1.

Are the next steps:
- find out if there is an assessment test to prepare you
- take it
- based on it then find out what additional education I need and take it
- take "real" test?

Let's say it is decided that I need it all (I suspect I'd be real weak in
VIOS). What should I budget for?

Any heads up that I should wait two months for new certification stuff
would be appreciated. Domino is nice enough to post that.
