Scope of AIX

What is the scope of AIX as I am starting my career as a fresher in AIX administration??

IBM AIX (operating system) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lot's of commands are different to other Unix'es and Linux'es - which relate a lot to the LVM which is a base part of AIX and the ODM (Onject Data Manager), which is a bit like a registry on windows, imho.

Today you usually have a big block of hardware which is virtually partitioned into several servers, called LPARs. You also have to deal with HMCs and WebSM to define profiles for those LPARs, distributing resources like CPU, RAM and Adapters.

Also helpful is the smit or smitty for a lot of admin tasks so you don't have to lookup all the commands and parameters.

All in all you have to get used to AIX if you come from other Unixes/Linuxes.

I hope that was somehow covering the "scope".

Afaik AIX is usually used in banking and insurancy sector a lot. I think a job search machine can tell you a lot more how many AIX admins companies are looking for.
