Oh, its worse than 2.2.5. I'd actually be happy if it was .5. Let us say 2.2.2 something!
And yes well aware version not supported. Also paying out the teeth for 'extended' support for AIX since it still has 6.1 lpar's underneath the VIOS. Yes, yes I know all about the issues. Just I'm beholden to the customer and they have signed off on the risks. So if anything happens they are fully aware. Every quarter they are notified that they've signed x document stating that they accept all risk for running out of support, etc, etc.
I have a few boxes I can stand up that version of VIOS on, or find a close match with pure AIX.
As to chef, I'm learning it. As you can see from my post history, my scripting skills aren't that great. So its been fun. Few of my goals are to manage resolv.conf, services, edit/verify ODM entries (think hardware and core dump notifications). Right now starting off small with just ODM error notifications. Finally got that cookbook wrapped up. Likely not the best and if posted publicly people would rip it to shreds but seems to work for the various edge cases I threw at it.

CONFIGURE SUBCOMMANDS
knife configure (options)
-i, --initial
Create an initial API Client
-r, --repository REPO
The path to your chef-repo
Create a configuration file for knife. This will prompt for values to enter into the file. Default values are listed in square brackets if
no other entry is typed. See knife(1) for a description of configuration options.
knife configure client directory
Read the knife.rb config file and generate a config file suitable for use in /etc/chef/client.rb and copy the validation certificate into
the specified directory.
EXAMPLES
o On a freshly installed Chef Server, use knife configure -i to create an administrator and knife configuration file. Leave the field
blank to accept the default value. On most systems, the default values are acceptable.
user@host$ knife configure -i
Please enter the chef server URL: [http://localhost:4000]
Please enter a clientname for the new client: [username]
Please enter the existing admin clientname: [chef-webui]
Please enter the location of the existing admin client's private key: [/etc/chef/webui.pem]

Created (or updated) client[username]
Configuration file written to /home/username/.chef/knife.rb
This creates a new administrator client named username, writes a configuration file to /home/username/.chef/knife.rb, and the private
key to /home/username/.chef/username.pem. The configuration file and private key may be copied to another system to facilitate adminis-
tration of the Chef Server from a remote system. Depending on the value given for the Chef Server URL, you may need to modify that set-
ting after copying to a remote host.
