Have a look at IBMs "Redbook" series, they are usually very well written and quite exhaustive.
Specifically installing a VIOS: consider doing it via a NIM server. See the man page of the "installios" command, but you might want to read up about virtualisation concepts from IBM first.
Basically, a VIOS is heavily customized AIX with a lot of added commands and specialized middleware to fulfill its purpose. Because it comes from a time when IBM was "appliance-crazy", you can't administrate it like any other machine but have to learn other - similar, but different - commands to do what you can do on any other system.
I hope this helps.
