"Learn the intricacies of the AIX file system framework. Every operating system provides a native kernel framework that kernel developers have to understand and adhere to when developing a piece of a kernel component for that operating system. This article sheds some light on the AIX file system framework. You need to understand the framework in order to develop a new file system, or to port an existing file system to the AIX operating system."

Point and click? You using the WebSM to config the unix? Don't want to be rude/sarcastic but there are cmd tools for that? And if you want to clone a box NIM is useful. You can define custom scripts that will do whatever you want after the bos_inst. There is updated draft document of using NIM (if i understand you correctly about the mass instalation of many boxes) really up to date. In ODM you store mainly device related configurations. As someone mentioned, there are text config files too. If you don't understand how AIX works or how to work with it, don't say it's stupid and deny it. "HAVE TO login to each box" please do tell how you admin the unix you support without logging? And you can press "Esc+6" or F6 in most cases in smitty to see what command does the smitty run behind the scene. It's funny how people deny anything that they don't understand or are too lazy to read about. I don't say AIX is the perfect unix, it has some bugs to iron out. But at the end of the day, when you have to support some OS it's a matter of "Administrator Friendly", so you can do your job and be done with it, and not have to remember or do a 2 or 3 page instruction on a simple mirror of vg00 (check out HP-UX procedure for doing that) when you can do it with 2 cmds.
Just my 2e cents.
