# smit
The environment variable TERM is currently set to a terminal type that does not support the full screen display capabilities required for SMIT.
Set TERM to an appropriate terminal type or use another terminal.

Assuming that you use the machine as full system partition (i.e. the front display does not show "HMC") your problem has nothing to do with virtualisation. In this case I'd think that sbdy used/defined a different console during server installation and therefore the (unused) TTY port is not configured for login. To get around this you are right to login in single user mode. Use
# export TERM=vt100
to be able to use SMIT.
# smitty devices
-> choose TTY you want to use
- enable LOGIN -> enable
- STTY attributes for RUN time -> add "clocal" option
- STTY attributes for LOGIN -> add "clocal" option
- Apply changes to Database only - yes
Reboot to multi user mode.
