Help understanding differences between AIX and RHEL

Shock! 
I suppose I would be in SHOCK too if I went to pure Linux anything after over 30 years of UNIX.
For years there has been talk of "generic" *NIX - and for many commands, generic works. However, "distributions" of *NIX, including Linux (which is usually lowercase, not upper case) all have there differences.
The little I know of Linux makes me doubt that Linux volume management has not gotten farther than the "divvy/fdisk" like ways that were common +- 12 years ago.
But they are different from using smit (as admin interface) or the *vg, *lv, *fs commands to make, change, remove volume groups, logical partitions, and file systems on AIX. Basically, every *NIX has there own way of doing the administration - and the "rosetta stone" approach is probably an excellent start for you own cheat-sheet.

subscription-manager-gui(8) Subscription Manager subscription-manager-gui(8) NAME
subscription-manager-gui - Launches the UI client of the Subscription Manager. SYNOPSIS
subscription-manager-gui [--register] DESCRIPTION
subscription-manager-gui opens the local client tool to manage subscriptions and installed products on Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems. The same tasks that can be performed by invoking subscription-manager can be performed in the GUI, including registering systems with a subscription management service, applying and removing subscriptions, and viewing the subscription status of installed products. The Subscription Manager UI can also be opened by selecting the Red Hat Subscription Manager item from the Applications > System Tools menu in RHEL 5.x or the System > Administration menu in RHEL 6.x. OPTIONS
--register If a system has not yet been registered, then the GUI registration page can be opened immediately, as the Subscription Manager GUI comes up. This is only relevant for unregistered systems; if this is used after a system is registered, the option is ignored. REFERENCES
For procedures and tasks that can be performed in the Subscription Manager UI, check the Gnome help files (by pressing <F1>) or refer to the RHEL Subscription Management Guide at <https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Subscription_Management/1.0/html/Sub- scription_Management_Guide/index.html>. ASSOCIATED FILES
* /usr/sbin/subscription-manager-gui * /usr/sbin/subscription-manager * /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf BUGS
This client is part of Red Hat Subscription Manager. To file bugs against this client, go to https://bugzilla.redhat.com, and select Red Hat > Red Hat Enterprise Linux > subscription-manager. AUTHORS
