This chapter gives an introduction to AIX* V3.2 system management.
Given below is a list of tasks which will be performed on a RISC System/6000* running AIX V3.2. These tasks will differ from system to system. Some tasks could be important to one system, but may not be important to a different system. Systems which are very different may have similar system management needs, while nearly identical systems in different environments may need different system management tasks.
