SMIT is just a nicely polished (and, btw., even extendable) UI to execute normal system commands. If you could do it with SMIT you always can do it manually too - maybe not as comfortably so, but you can.
You can - by pressing <F6> - even look at the command(s) SMITty would issue and can cut/paste/edit this to use it in your own scripts. This is quite handy for developing scripts for the more arcane parts of AIX.
I hope this helps.
