So to set/remove alias the clean way I recommend:
smitty tcpip --> Further configuration -->Network interface -->Network interface selection -->Configure alias
Once done, I do recommend checking against the ODM to make sure it was properly removed. I have had a few bad experiences where it was removed and yet the ODM hung onto it.
That would be

Code:

odmget -q "name = enX" CuAt

where enX is your adapter.
You should only see the primary network attributes.

Now, before you DO remove the alias, you should know why there was an alias setup in the first place! Is anything using that alias?

The few times I had alias's was for Oracle Databases, HA cluster, or I needed a route to a secure segment that was funky to setup.
I'm sure there's other use cases, but those are my only experiences.
