The smit or smitty panels are the System Management Interface Tool and are just helpful panels to complete tasks that you can do on the command line, if you know how.
Is there a specific subject area you are trying to understand? e.g. network definitions; user management; system backup; console assignment; disk allocations ...... etc.
I will add : SMIT is GUI ( X11...) smitty is vtXXX text graphics and expects to have a window size equivalent to a terminal ( 80 X 25? I forgot now.. columns X lines ) So I really think that smit is a better option for someone new to AIX as smitty is really helpful when you know its shortcuts, without its more complicated... e.g.
Code:
smitty user
good luck and welcome

In the several backups we do, we do a "smitty savevg" on about 15 different servers at the same time. Typing all the options on the savg screen is kind of long.

I have a couple systems that are acting strangely. In 'smitty tcpip' everything is displayed twice. Even going into the submenus (like minimum configuration and startup) everything is displayed twice. Has anyone seen this? Know how to fix it?
