ibm released a beta test version of aix 5l for the ia 64 itanium architecture in 2001 but this never became an official product due to lack of interest 35 apple network servers edit the apple network server ans systems are powerpc based systems designed by apple computer to have numerous high end features that contemporary standard apple hardware does not have including swappable hard drives redundant power supplies and external monitoring capability these systems are more or less based on the power macintosh hardware available at the time but designed to use aix versions 4 1 4 or 4 1 5 as their native operating system in a specialized version specific to the ans called aix for apple network servers aix is only compatible with the network servers and was not ported to standard power macintosh hardware it should not be confused with a ux apple s earlier version of unix for 68k based macintoshes power isa powerpc power isa based systems edit aix rs 6000 servers running ibm com in early 1998 aix rs 6000 servers running ibm com in early 1998 the release of aix version 3 sometimes called aix 6000 coincided with the announcement of the first power1 based ibm rs 6000 models in 1990 incompatible with rt pc s aix v2 36 aix v3 innovated in several ways on the software side it is the first operating system to introduce the idea of a journaling file system jfs which allows for fast boot times by avoiding the need to ensure the consistency of the file systems on disks see fsck on every reboot another innovation is shared libraries which avoid the need for static linking from an application to the libraries it used the resulting smaller binaries use less of the hardware ram to run and used less disk space to install besides improving performance executable binaries can be in the tens of kilobytes instead of a megabyte for an executable statically linked to the c library aix v3 also scrapped the microkernel of aix v2 a contentious move that resulted in v3 containing no pl 8 code and being somewhat more pure than v2 other notable subsystems include iris gl a 3d rendering library the progenitor of opengl iris gl was licensed by ibm from sgi in 1987 a small company which had sold only a few thousand machines at the time sgi also provided the low end graphics card for the rs 6000 capable of drawing 20 000 gouraud shaded triangles per second the high end graphics card was designed by ibm a follow on to the mainframe attached ibm 5080 capable of rendering 990 000 vectors per second phigs another 3d rendering api popular in automotive cad cam circles and at the core of catia full implementation of version 11 of the x window system together with motif as the recommended widget toolkit and window manager network file systems nfs from sun afs the andrew file system and dfs the distributed file system ncs the network computing system licensed from apollo computer later acquired by hp dps on screen display system as an alternative if the x11 motif combination failed in the marketplace however it is highly proprietary supported only by sun next and ibm this and lack of 3d capability caused it to fail in the marketplace versus x11 motif and its lack of 3d capability in addition aix applications can run in the pase subsystem under ibm i source code edit ibm made the aix for rs 6000 source code available to customers for a fee in 1991 ibm customers could order the aix 3 0 source code for a one time charge of us 60 000 37 subsequently ibm released the aix 3 1 source code in 1992 38 and aix 3 2 in 1993 39 these source code distributions exclude certain files authored by third parties which ibm did not have rights to redistribute and also exclude layered products such as the ms dos emulator and the c compiler to license the aix source code the

tool for aix it allows a user to navigate a menu hierarchy of commands rather than using the command line invocation is typically achieved with the command smit experienced system administrators make use of the f6 function key which generates the command line that smit will invoke to complete it smit also generates a log of commands that are performed in the smit script file the smit script file automatically records the commands with the command flags and parameters used the smit script file can be used as an executable shell script to rerun system configuration tasks smit also creates the smit log file which contains additional detailed information that can be used by programmers in extending the smit system smit and smitty refer to the same program though smitty invokes the text based
