This redbook focuses on the latest enhancements introduced in AIX Versions 4.3 through 4.3.3. It is intended to help system administrators, developers, and users understand these enhancements and evaluate potential benefits in their own environments.
AIX Version 4.3 includes many new features, including 64-bit application support, IP Version 6, X11 Release 6, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), and improved scaling over a wider range of RS/6000 platforms. The availability of two new Web-based utilities, Web-based System Manager and a Web-based Documentation Search Service, signal AIX’s move towards a standard, unified interface for system tools. There are many other enhancements available with AIX Version 4.3, and you can explore them all in this redbook.
This publication is an update to the previously published AIX Version 4.3 Differences Guide, Second Edition, which focused on the enhancements introduced in AIX Version 4.3.2. Certain sections of the First Edition and Second Edition have been removed, or edited, as required to reflect the fact that the online documentation provided with AIX Version 4.3 now covers many of the original topics in sufficient depth. |
