As an AIX admin you'd change hostname with

If you want to see the hostname in the shell prompt you'd probably assign hostname -s to a variable in .profile and use it to adapt PS1. Sample:
You could do sth. similar with uname -s of course.

gethostname
gethostname(2) System Calls Manual gethostname(2)NAME
gethostname() - get name of current host system
SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION
returns in the array to which hostname points, the standard host name for the current system as set by (see sethostname(2)). size speci-
fies the length of the hostname array. hostname is null-terminated unless insufficient space is provided.
RETURN VALUE
returns 0 if successful. Otherwise, it returns -1 and sets to indicate the error.
ERRORS
can fail if the following is true:
hostname points to an illegal address. The reliable detection of this error is implementation dependent.
size is less than one.
WARNINGS
It is recommended that programs use to dynamically size the buffer used to accept the host name from This is preferred over use of the con-
stant.
For cases where the constant must be used, there are two values: 64 and 256. The smaller value is compatible with current releases and is
used by default. To use the larger value consult the related documentation (see nodehostnamesize(5)).
The administrator may, with appropriate configuration options enabled, set a host name larger than 64 bytes. Existing applications which
were compiled using the smaller to size a buffer passed to the system function obtain only the first 64 bytes. This truncation may cause
the applications to exhibit anomalous behavior or to fail.
