	               <description><![CDATA[The way you interface with a computer is changing constantly. Operating systems that
	once started as a command line-only interface have moved to a graphical front end.
	Sometimes, however, moving away from the building blocks that made the operating
	system isn't necessarily a step in the right direction. Thankfully, the IBM AIX operating
	system has kept to what's important: the stability, functionality, and robustness of a
	computer's operating system.

Workload partitioning allows you to have fewer operating system images on your managed system, which is accomplished by allowing virtualization of operating system resources. Live Application Mobility is an important component of workload partitioning and provides for increased availability for workload partitions (WPARs). Simply put, it allows you to move WPARs from one logical partition (LPAR) to another while the WPARs are up and running. It provides automatic, policy-based relocation of workload between systems using WPARs. This article explores how and when to use Live Application Mobility and how to configure a system and its applications to run it.]]></description>

	               <description><![CDATA[The absence of a well-defined library that deals with file system manipulation is a
	long-running issue for the C++ language. In the past, programmers have had to use native
	APIs to work around the problem. Discover a library that provides a safe, portable, and
	easy-to-use C++ interface to facilitate file system operations: the Boost Filesystem

	               <description><![CDATA[One of the strongest assets UNIX has is the ability to make shell scripts to ease
users' lives. These scripts can range from simple one-liners to several thousand
lines.  Many times, shell scripts evolve into menu-based scripts, and the scripter
wants to display more to users than simply scrolling text. Other times, a simple
line or two of output are displayed to users, and the shell scripter wants to put
emphasis on a warning message.

      companies, you have just started a large server consolidation and migration project
      to AIX(R) 6.1 from Solaris 10. Many of the commands are similar, but you need to
      know how to work with partitioning and virtualization. What are the partitioning
      differences between an IBM(R) and Sun server? Furthermore, what do you need to know
      about workload partitions (WPARs) to make a successful transition from containers?
      What are some of the similarities and differences between WPARs and zones, and how
      does the process differ from creating zones and WPARs? Finally, what can you do on
      the IBM System p(TM) that you can't do with Sun servers? These are some of the
      questions addressed in this article, with the objective of making your transition
      easier. ]]></description>

      interactive tool like IPython can make all the difference. In this article, learn
      how to use Net-SNMP, Python, and the IPython shell to interactively explore and
      manage a network.]]></description>

	               <description><![CDATA[This article provides guidance to DCE or DFS users who are migrating
      from DCE or DFS to Kerberos/NFS V4. During the
      transition period, these users need to be authenticated and authorized to use both DFS
      and NFS V4 directories. This article answers some basic questions, such as,
      &quot;Can the DCE authentication server be used as a Kerberos server for NFS V4 with a
      Kerberos client?&quot;]]></description>

	               <description><![CDATA[Discover how to scan your network for services and how to regularly monitor
      your services to keep uptimes to a maximum. A key way of ensuring the security of
      your network is to know what is on your network and what services individual
      machines are at risk of exposure. Unauthorized services, such as Web servers or file
      sharing solutions, not only degrade performance, but others can use these services
      as routes into your network. In this article, learn how to use these same techniques
      to ensure that genuine services remain available.]]></description>
