You can see a comparison list of commands (IBM to Solaris) on this web page at ibm.

i think sun should have something like smitty from ibm to administer instead of going all the way to the console just to get the interface
1. Smit (in GUI form) interface is like admintool and you need either X to run it. Has nothing to do with being on the console. If YOU are logging into system B (UNIX) from system A (UNIX) to run a X GUI, then you need to open system A to accept X traffic. That can only be done from the console window of system A. There are two different terminal window in most UNIX flavors - a console terminal window, and a terminal window.

2. You actually would like admintool to work like smit. Smit can be either a GUI or text based. Please forward your wishes to Sun. I wouldn't mind seeing it either.

FYI - different ways to admin a AIX system.
Web-based System Manager, an object-oriented GUI that provides assistance for less experienced administrators and remote administration of one or more machines from any client platform.
The System Management Interface Tool, or SMIT, a task-oriented, menu-based interface that supports all common administration tasks. There are two versions of SMIT: an X Window version that provides GUI features such as point-and-click operations, and an ASCII text version that can be run on any character-mode terminal.
AIX command strings, which can be invoked directly by the user from the command line or through scripts. Both Web-based System Manager and SMIT execute these same commands from within their interfaces.

HP Printer without SMC, Admintool, or Jetadmin

NAME
dtadvfs - Starts the AdvFS graphical user interface SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/X11/dtadvfs [options] [-N] [-C hostname] OPTIONS
Turns off information messages about starting up the asemgr utility. This message is displayed at startup and whenever the file system configuration is changed when the system is running TruCluster Software. Connects to other hosts that are running the AdvFS GUI daemon, advfsd. OPERANDS
Uses the standard X Windows options. See the X(1X) and xterm(1X) reference pages for information. DESCRIPTION
The AdvFS graphical user interface (GUI) organizes AdvFS functionality into system management tasks and makes them available through a graphical interface. Issue the dtadvfs command to display the AdvFS GUI Main window. This window serves as both the starting point for all AdvFS GUI-managed tasks and as a monitor for file-system status. When the Main window is displayed, disk-space usage information is shown for the host and file domains. From the Main window, you can choose tasks from the following menus: Choose GUI setup options or exit the GUI. Choose file domain, file- set, clone, or volume configuration tasks. Choose what information displays on the main window or view devices and volumes information. Choose file domain balance or defragment procedures. Online help is available for all tasks and windows available through the GUI. To access help, click on the Help button in any window or choose Help from the menu bar to display information. RESTRICTIONS
You must be the root user to use this utility and you must register the Advanced File System Utilities license. FILES
