Basic Concepts of Miscellaneous Demos in Playbooks

Overview of Miscellaneous Demos​

Miscellaneous Demos in Playbooks provide various examples of how to use different modules and functionalities available in the IBM Power Systems AIX Collection. These demos include tasks such as performing BOSBOOT operations, gathering system configuration values, installing packages using dnf, managing alternate disk copies, and handling interim fixes with emgr.

Purpose of Miscellaneous Demos​

Each demo playbook is designed to showcase specific use cases and configurations, helping users understand how to implement and automate these tasks on AIX systems.

Examples of Miscellaneous Demos​

For instance, the playbooks/demo_bosboot.yml playbook demonstrates how to verify, create, and manage boot images, while the playbooks/demo_getconf.yml playbook illustrates how to retrieve various system configuration values. Similarly, the playbooks/demo_dnf.yml playbook shows how to install packages using the dnf module, and the playbooks/demo_suma.yml playbook provides an example of managing system updates using SUMA.

Detailed Example: BOSBOOT Operations​

The playbooks/demo_bosboot.yml playbook is a practical guide for performing BOSBOOT operations. It includes tasks to verify, create, and manage boot images on AIX systems. This playbook helps users ensure that their systems can boot correctly after updates or changes.

Detailed Example: Gathering System Configuration Values​

The playbooks/demo_getconf.yml playbook demonstrates how to retrieve various system configuration values. This is useful for auditing and monitoring system settings to ensure they meet organizational standards.

Detailed Example: Installing Packages Using DNF​

The playbooks/demo_dnf.yml playbook shows how to install packages using the dnf module. This playbook is essential for managing software installations and updates on AIX systems, ensuring that all necessary packages are installed and up-to-date.

Detailed Example: Managing System Updates with SUMA​

The playbooks/demo_suma.yml playbook provides an example of managing system updates using SUMA. This playbook helps automate the process of downloading and applying updates, keeping AIX systems secure and up-to-date.
