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.
