Lot of system admin tasks can be done by using the SMITTY utility in AIX.
Few Examples,
#smit mktcpip # configure network parameters
#smit chfs # change file system, eg grow/extend it.
#smit lsprt # list printers (don't list all, may need to go thru long menu)
#smit installp # Add new software
#smit update # add patches
#smit update_all # automatic add patches to existing sw, no complain if patch is not relevant
