Object Data Manager (ODM) is a database management system and device configuration integrated into IBM's AIX operating system.[1][2] The ODM is unique to AIX compared to other UNIX operating systems. Data being managed by ODM is stored and maintained as objects with associated attributes. 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.
Example of information stored in the ODM database are:
- Network configuration
- Logical volume management configuration
- Installed software information
- 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
