A beta test version of AIX 5L for IA-64 systems was released, but according to documents released in the SCO v. IBM lawsuit, less than forty licenses for the finished Monterey Unix were ever sold before the project was terminated in 2002.

The default shell was Bourne shell up to AIX version 3, but was changed to Korn shell ( ksh88 ) in version 4 in view of XPG4 and POSIX compliance.

* AIX version 6. 1 overview

The original KornShell, < tt > ksh88 </ tt >, is the default shell on AIX since version 4. with ksh93 available separately.

Samba runs on most Unix and Unix-like systems, such as GNU / Linux, Solaris, AIX and the BSD variants, including Apple's Mac OS X Server ( which was added to the Mac OS X client in version 10. 2 ).

PASE is essentially " an operating system within an operating system ", supporting the most recent stable version of AIX.

IBM introduced JFS with the initial release of AIX version 3. 1 in February, 1990.

Many of them, for example AIX, FreeBSD, Mac OS X beginning with version 10. 4 (" Tiger "), or Solaris with ZFS filesystem, support NFSv4 ACLs, which are part of the NFSv4 standard.

The NeXT and AIX version of FrameMaker used Display PostScript technology, whereas all other UNIX versions used the X Window System-Motif windowing environment.

: In 1999, IBM had problems of its own with an aged and high-priced line of servers, particularly for its version of Unix known as AIX.

Apple never ported A / UX to PowerPC Macintoshes ( though A / UX 4. 0 was rumored to have been an OSF / 1 adaptation ), and the company all but abandoned it by 1996, preferring to use a slightly modified version of IBM ’ s AIX system on their mid-90s Apple Network Servers.

The current version of Infinite 36 deploys under 64-bit versions of HPUX, AIX and Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

* A copy of the mainframe version of AIX or Linux.

XCOFF, for " eXtended COFF ", is an improved and expanded version of the COFF object file format defined by IBM and used in AIX.

More recently, IBM defined an XCOFF64 version supporting 64-bit AIX, and used XCOFF32 to mean the original file format.

# Free Edition – free, open source version distributed under the GNU General Public License ; runs on various flavors of Unix ( Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX ) and versions of Windows prior to Windows Vista ( i. e. Windows NT 4, 2000, XP, Server 2003 ) newer Windows operating systems must use the Personal or Enterprise editions.

The tool appears in IBM's AIX version of Unix and the Solaris Operating System from Sun Microsystems.

AIX, IBM's version of the UNIX operating system, was not a target of SAA, but does have interoperability with the SAA family.

Examples of such operating systems are AIX, HP-UX, FreeBSD, Novell NetWare, Solaris, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, Windows 2000 Service Pack 3, Windows 2003, Windows XP, Windows 7 ,, Windows Server 2008 R2, and z / VM version 5. 3.

Eclipse is a centralized database ( UniVerse ) residing on AIX, ( a Linux and NT based version is available as well ) with client stations connecting via a simple terminal emulator and a thick, Java based, client.

Both AIX version 2 and the Pick operating system were ported to this microkernel.

The primary operating system for the RT was AIX version 2.

AIX 6 was announced in May 2007 and ran an open beta from June 2007 until the general availability ( GA ) of AIX 6. 1 on November 9, 2007.

Major new features in AIX 6. 1 included full role-based access control, workload partitions ( which enable application mobility ), enhanced security ( Addition of AES encryption type for NFS v3 and v4 ) and Live Partition Mobility on the POWER6 hardware.

Another example is System Workload Partitions ( WPARs ), introduced in the IBM AIX 6. 1 operating system.

DPS 6 and DPS 4 ( ex-Level 62 ) were superseded by Motorola 68000-and later on PowerPC minicomputers running Unix and the product lines were discontinued, though GCOS 6 ran in an emulator on top of AIX.

It has versions compatible with Linux on the i386, DEC Alpha, m68k, PowerPC and SPARC architectures, with FreeBSD, with Solaris, with IRIX64 6. 4, and with AIX.

AIX supports USB mass storage devices since the 5. 3 T9 and 6. 1 T3 releases, but it is not well supported and lacks some features ( like partitioning and using it as general block device in system ).

SFU 2. 0 supported the following UNIX versions: Solaris 2. 6 +, HP-UX 10. 2 +, AIX 4. 2 +, Tru64 UNIX 5. 0 +, and Red Hat Linux 5. 1 +.

*** 4 SMT threads per core ( available in AIX 6. 1 TL05 ( releases in April 2010 ) and above )

Examples of such systems are Solaris 2. 0 / SunOS 5. 0, Windows NT, the Linux kernel 2. 6 and 3. x, AIX and some BSD systems ( NetBSD, since version 5 ).

* PowerHA 7. 1 was released in 2010 and uses the Cluster Aware AIX ( CAA ) infrastructure available in AIX V6. 1 TL 6 and AIX 7. 1

* PowerHA 6. 1, Rebranded again to IBM PowerHA SystemMirror for AIX, GA Oct 27 2009,

The 6. 1 release of the TSM Server is supported on AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, and Windows Server.

AIX ( Advanced Interactive eXecutive, pronounced ) is a series of proprietary Unix operating systems developed and sold by IBM for several of its computer platforms.

Originally released for the IBM 6150 RISC workstation, AIX now supports or has supported a wide variety of hardware platforms, including the IBM RS / 6000 series and later IBM POWER and PowerPC-based systems, IBM System i, System / 370 mainframes, PS / 2 personal computers, and the Apple Network Server.

AIX is based on UNIX System V with 4. 3BSD-compatible extensions.

The AIX family of operating systems debuted in 1986, became the standard operating system for the RS / 6000 series on its launch in 1990, and is still actively developed by IBM.

AIX was the first operating system to utilize journaling file systems, and IBM has continuously enhanced the software with features like processor, disk and network virtualization, dynamic hardware resource allocation ( including fractional processor units ), and reliability engineering ported from its mainframe designs.

AIX Version 1, introduced in 1986 for the IBM 6150 RT workstation, was based on UNIX System V Releases 1 and 2.

In developing AIX, IBM and Interactive Systems Corporation ( whom IBM contracted ) also incorporated source code from 4. 2 and 4. 3 BSD UNIX.

Among other variants, IBM later produced AIX Version 3 ( also known as AIX / 6000 ), based on System V Release 3, for their IBM POWER-based RS / 6000 platform.

AIX Version 4, introduced in 1994, added symmetric multiprocessing with the introduction of the first RS / 6000 SMP servers and continued to evolve through the 1990s, culminating with AIX 4. 3. 3 in 1999.

In the late 1990s, under Project Monterey, IBM and the Santa Cruz Operation planned to integrate AIX and UnixWare into a single 32-bit / 64-bit multiplatform UNIX with particular emphasis on running on Intel IA-64 ( Itanium ) architecture CPUs.

In 2003, the SCO Group alleged that ( among other infractions ) IBM had misappropriated licensed source code from UNIX System V Release 4 for incorporation into AIX ; SCO subsequently withdrew IBM's license to develop and distribute AIX.

AIX was a component of the 2003 SCO v. IBM lawsuit, in which the SCO Group filed a lawsuit against IBM, alleging IBM contributed SCO's intellectual property to the Linux codebase.
