chlv
Changes only the characteristics of a logical volume
chps
Changes attributes of a paging space
fdpr
A performance tuning utility for improving execution time and real memory utilization of user-level application programs
ifconfig
Configures or displays network interface parameters for a network using TCP/IP
ioo

migratepv

tunrestore
Restores all tuning parameter values from a stanza file (beginning with AIX 5.2)
tunsave
Saves all tuning parameter values in a stanza file (beginning with AIX 5.2)
vmo
Sets VMM related tuning parameters (along with ioo, replaces vmtune starting with AIX 5.2)
vmtune
