Hi Guys,

Can anybody please give me some questions to ask regarding AIX (Interview)

Regards
Glen
 
It depends on what exactly are you looking at in the interview? The questions to be asked depends on the post to be filled (job-peron fit).

What is the post you are looking for? what type of support you expect the candidate to do?

There are few nice questions in the IBM certificates tests!

Regards,
Khalid
 
Hi Khalidaaa,

The postion is for a DB2 dba, but i need someone with AIX knowledge. so i just need to ask some rudimentary AIX questions
 
I'm always reminded of the story of the interviewees for the removals job. They were asked to lift a heavy safe. The first few struggled and failed, the fourth said
I can't lift that, it's too heavy, I'd need a fork lift.
Guess who got the job.


Why the story? Well, given a certain amount of experience, I'm more interested in those who know their limitations and are prepared to RTFM, use TekTips, and generally know where to look for answers than those who are walking encyclopedias.

What this comes down to is my question - where do you go to for solutions to problems where you don't know the answer?

On the internet no one knows you're a dog

Glen, slightly difficult to be precise, but perhaps a mix of 'what-ifs' and general questions about capacity/performance monitoring, upgrades etc.

Khalid,
job-peron fit
Presumably this would be for President of Argentina? ;-)

I want to be good, is that not enough?
 
Ha ha ha :)

That's what they teach us in MBA courses (Organizational Behavior :)

Glen,

You can find plenty of frequently asked questions over here:


Pick some that you might find a useful measure of aix knowledge for your candidates!

Good Luck.

Regards,
Khalid
 
Out of curiosity, what type of questions do you plan on asking? Are you looking at general AIX knowledge or will you be looking for specific answers to technical questions?
 
Hi Khalid,
Could you please tell me how to configure the LPAR on Pseries with AIX 5.3. I was trying to google it, but couldn't find the helpful resources for beginners.
Many thanks in advance

Ali
