I have been working for more than three years developing an AIX OS scanning tool and am pleased to announce that it is nearing completion, and will soon be available to buy. It is designed to work on systems running AIX 5.3, 6.1, and 7.1, and also detects some popular software such as Oracle, DB2, Power/HA, and EMC Powerpath.
SystemScan will soon also be available for Linux.
The tool was written using standard AIX shell-script in order that adminstrators, managers, and auditors could both inspect and modify the code in order to be sure that satisify themselves, and their policies, that there is nothing harmful.
Each of the tests comes with a HTML help file that can be used as a teaching-aid, or by first-line support to aid-descision making and to reduce the number of call escalations. System can also be run daily and the reports sent to another system, or viewed via the integrated browser, thus enabing administrators or auditors to examine a system's configuration without requiring any kind of elevated access.
If run on multiple systems SystemScan can quickly identify build inconsistensies and missing or incorrect patches enabling system owners to audit and assure the quality of configuration across the entire AIX estate.
