I have about 125 boxes (mix of Solaris, AIX, HP, and Red Hat), and I'm all alone. Make sure you definitely don't tell your boss that
one. Previously, I worked for a company that had a "standard" for this. Their thought was 60-75 boxes per admin, which is
exactly what John Jolet's ratio is... I feel a little bit overworked (especially because I also do some development work), but my
environment is pretty stable, so another person would likely be kind of bored.
I do get a college student "intern" in the summer and during winter semester break, so I do get some time to do things that pile up.
I'm trying to convince my boss that we need someone else at least part time....

Subject: Admins to Boxes ratio
Anybody have any IBM Documentation defining the AIX Admins to Boxes ratio?
I'm an AIX Admin supporting some 14 AIX Boxes and a few RH Boxes; I think I could use some help. My boss wants to see if IBM agrees.
Thank you.
