Why do you need or want the ip config files over ODM?
Using ODM is the recommended method because of misstypes etc.

it starts with
#chdev -l inet0 -a bootup_option=yes

and then create the interface files etc. and reboot.

All the networking software is controlled by the SRC (System Resource Controller) and can be stopped and started via it:

Code:
lssrc -g tcpip

gives an overview over all daemons and their status in the group "tcpip". To start/stop the whole group or inetd alone:

Code:
stopsrc -g tcpip      (stopsrc -g <groupname>)
stopsrc -s inetd      (stopsrc -s <subsystemname>)

startsrc -g tcpip
startsrc -s inetd

You can also restart (groups of) subsystems with the "refresh" command:

Code:
refresh -g <groupname>
refresh -s <subsystemname>

I hope this helps.

As you can see from all the posts AIX has a very detailed and really quite complex method of managing the TCP/IP settings on an LPAR.

Perhaps if you tell us what the trouble is - or what you are trying to achieve then we'll try to put you right - but these vague questions are best answered by - "Take the AIX course"
