Hi ,
I want to know aix certifications,How to perepare for that ?How many number of papers are there?
Personally I'm not certified, but you can take a look here, I guess they will have the info. Certainly, if we have AIX certified expert in the forum, it will be good to share experience.
Here you go !
It had been 4 months now I have passed that exam , the exam is 222 and it is a single exam you need to pass to be certified from IBM.
You need at least command over the unix and then you should have a years of experience to play with the system... You need to work on the concepts and the commands , the ratio of questions related to troubleshooting and maintainence are more with the life time working scenerio.
You should download an IBM certification redbook it is more then worth for the exam if you need the book then I can share it with you. The other thing you need is hard work and a good brain dump to practice..
It took me around 2 months to prepare and I have read the red book 5 times then I can able to crack this exam cuz IBM exams are serious stuff.

I think you'd need to be certified to work on AIX!
Back in the good old days there were several exams to be taken to achieve CATE (Certified AIX Technical Expert), including hardware (i had SP/2 as one of these tests for instance), AIX core themes like backup, tuning, troubleshooting, etc., and middleware: HACMP, ADSM, etc.
Today there are only 4 tests to be passed: pSeries Administration and Support (Test 222), pSeries Enterprise Support (Test 180) - these two have to be passed in exactly this order for reasons unknown - pSeries HACMP for AIX (Test 237), and IBM System p5 Virtualization Technical Support (Test 062).
Back in the good old days of the R/6000 the tests were real tests: you got questions and a piece of paper and had to write down your answer, which often included writing a small script or a part of one. Today there are only these multiple-choice-tests, where you can guess the right answer most of the times even if you don't know anything about the topic. Suffice it to say i haven't bothered to renew my certification as a CATE but let it drop.
