You could try UCD-SNMP - which has a quite good Unix agent - support for AIX
may however not be as good as for some other platforms. Still under Solaris
supports quite a bit of the Host Resources MIB.
See: http://www.ece.ucdavis.edu/ucd-snmp/
The FAQ says supports: * AIX 4.1.5, 3.2.5 on all? systems.
The other thing to note is that the package is under active development and
thus will probably get better for AIX ...
