Object Data Manager
 |
Object Data Manager (ODM) is a database management system and device configuration integrated into IBM's AIX operating system.[1][2] Data being managed by ODM is stored and maintained as objects with associated attributes.[3] Interaction of C programming language applications with ODM is performed via application programming interface (API) library; shell scripts and users are provided with command-line utilities such us odmshow, odmadd, odmchange and odmdelete to deal with it. The ODM is analogous to the registry in Microsoft Windows.[4] SMIT and its associated AIX commands can query and modify information from the ODM.[5] A good understanding of the ODM is essential for managing AIX systems.[6]
Example of information stored in the ODM database are:
- Network configuration
- Logical volume management configuration
- Installed software information
- Information for logical devices or software drivers
- List of all AIX supported devices
- Physical hardware devices installed and their configuration
- Menus, screens and commands that SMIT uses
