Re: Red Hat Linux on IBM Power for Dummies?

Rob, I got a distro of LINUX for home use to start learning more about it
from the CLI layer a bit ago. Each area that you mention would have a
corresponding component. Example for development maybe it would be Redhat
developer toolset is distributed in RPM packages. Here is the link that
shows support of LINUX on POWER8
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/linuxonibm/liaam/liaamdistros.htm
CentOS is close to Redhat as well. I am sure I am not answering your
questions exactly as you are looking for.

What course of study would you recommend for someone of a long term IBM i
background to learn Red Hat Linux on IBM Power?
- Minor development
- Mostly admin
- Backup, recovery, installation
- Some performance
- Disk will be hosted from IBM i and I already do that to IBM i and AIX
guests. What I don't do is the guest part when it comes to 'x of adding
it within those 'x OS.

About all I do in AIX now is shutdown the TSM application and use the
shutdown command to drop it so I can perform dedicated maintenance on the
hosting lpar and the rack itself. We use MSS for a bulk of that but I
want to be more involved with this situation.
