What is the difference between Linux and AIX

How is Linux different from AIX? I believe most people don't know much about it. In order to let everyone know more, Xiaobian summarized the following contents for everyone. Without saying much, let's look down together.

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

2, AIX is a commercial version of UNIX, is a paid product, in addition to the original systemV architecture UNIX basic instructions, but also developed its own management instructions; and linux is a simplified version of the systemV architecture unix, is open source, all the instructions of the source code you can see the use of modifications, you can also provide him with free instructions developed by himself.

3. The usage of basic commands is almost the same, but there are also differences; for example,

View IP address and VLAN information

AIX: ifconfig -a, lsdev -Cc adaptor and lsattr -El ent8

Linux: ifconfig and ip addr

There are some commands on aix that are not available on linux that are basically related to filesytem, lvm

For example:

lsdev ,lspv, lsvg, lslv ,lsfs...

chdev, chpv,chvg,...

4, LVM level commands are a bit different, both disk management. Linux first creates physical volumes PV, then volume groups VG, then LV and file systems. The same goes for AIX. The difference above command: aix : createvg linux: vgcreate

5, on the file system: AIX can directly create the file system, and do not need to edit the fstab file. AIX you can use the smitty menu to execute the command smitty vg smitty mklv smitty fs and so on, after entering you can find the corresponding command for VG and LV, file system operations. In addition, PV in AIX is a disk recognized directly by the system: hdisk. You can hang as many hard disks as you want. Vg can be placed on many hdisks. Linux needs to create a PV first. It seems AIX is stronger than Linux in terms of filesystem security and capacity.

The difference between Linux and AIX is shared here. I hope the above content can help you and learn more. If you think the article is good, you can share it so that more people can see it.
