This article is about the difference between linux and aix systems. The editor thinks it is very practical, so share it with you as a reference and follow the editor to have a look.

Differences: 1. Linux is an open system that can run in most hardware environments, while aix is a dedicated system and must run on proprietary hardware platforms. 2. Linux is open source, but AIX is not. 3. AIX is better than linux in terms of security and capacity in filesystem.

The operating environment of this tutorial: CentOS 6 system, Dell G3 computer.

AIX, whose full name is (Advanced Interactive Executive), is IBM's UNIX operating system.

Although both Linux and aix are Unix compatible operating systems, they have their own characteristics and differences in different fields.

And it is said that aix is more convenient to operate, I feel similar to linux, of course, it may be that I am not familiar with AIX; here are some of the differences I have summarized.

The difference between linux and aix system

1. Linux is an open system that can run in most hardware environments; aix is a dedicated system and must run on proprietary hardware platforms; so the biggest difference is that the hardware platforms supported are different. Linux runs on X86, while AIX is developed specifically for IBM's own power architecture.

2. AIX is a commercial version of UNIX, a paid product, which develops its own management instructions in addition to the original UNIX basic instructions of systemV architecture, while linux is a simplified version of unix of systemV architecture and is open source. You can see the source code of all instructions to be modified, or you can provide him with self-developed instructions for free.

3. The usage of basic commands is almost the same, but there is also this difference:

For example

View IP address and VLAN information

AIX: ifconfig-a Magi lsdev-Cc adapater and lsattr-El ent8

Linux: ifconfig and ip addr

Some commands on aix are not available on linux. These commands are basically related to filesytem and lvm.

For example:

Lsdev, lspv, lsvg, lslv, lsfs...

Chdev, chpv,chvg,...

4. The commands at the LVM level are a little different, that is, disk management.

Linux first creates the physical volume PV, then the volume group VG, and then the LV and the file system. The same is true of AIX. The difference in the command: aix: createvg linux: vgcreate

5. On the file system:

AIX can create a file system directly without having to edit the fstab file. In AIX, you can use the smitty menu to execute commands such as smitty vg smitty mklv smitty fs, etc., and then you can find the corresponding commands for VG, LV, and file system operations.

In addition, the PV in AIX is a disk directly recognized by the system: hdisk. You can hang a lot of hard drives as needed. Vg can be placed on many hdisk.

Linux needs to create pv first. In this way, AIX is better than linux in terms of security and capacity in terms of filesystem.
