This document provides a general introduction to storage management
using AIX on the RS/6000. Concepts and terminology are covered
before describing in more detail the operating system components: the
Logical Volume Manager, and file systems. Using this foundation, it then
describes the additional features and functions provided with AIX
Version 4; useful commands are also detailed, as well as a guide to
organizing storage. In order to illustrate the topics covered, and
provide examples of common practical application, a section containing
detailed step by step information on a variety of storage management
tasks is included.

This document is intended for customers and systems engineers who
require a more detailed understanding of storage management with AIX
on the RS/6000, particularly the additional features provided with
AIX Version 4, and who wish to have access to practical examples.
Some knowledge of AIX Version 3 is assumed.
