Edit: Short but sweet. The NIM starter guide is still there. The links to fixes still work, the support best practices no longer works. Chris’s article is no longer at that site.

In this inaugural post of 2009, I bring you a grab bag of links. While none of these links warranted their own full-length entry, I expect that you’ll find them to be useful.
First, there’s this NIM starter guide.
Most of you probably know about AIX fixpacks and best practices, but readers of this blog do come from many different backgrounds and span all skill levels, so I’m including these: 5.3 fixpacks, 6.1 fixpacks, service and support best practices.
Here’s a support document covering AIX, VIO and HMC.
Here’s an IDC study on adding business value with cross-platform solutions.
Also, in case you missed it, Chris Gibson commenting on this post, offered a link to his own article about live partition mobility on JS22 blades.
Please post your own helpful AIX links in comments.
