    Is it necessary to Reboot Aix5.2 machine after doing
    odmdelete -o CuAt -q value="xxx"

    odmget CuAt does not reflects the changes made after executing above command

    No you should not have to reboot after an odmdelete for the change to be seen with odmget. I would always recommend that you do the odmget first to a file so if you need to readd with odmadd that you will have the exact syntax. This appears as if the odmdelete did not delete the entry.

    routes, including the default route can be stored in ODM. If you want to correct you networking setup you could also massage things via "smitty mktcpip".

    A small but sometimes significant point -- if you are updating existing TCPIP stuff you should use smitty tcpip and choose "Further configuration" (or use smitty configtcp direct -- not a fastpath I recall easily). Keep smitty mktcip for original setups; especially important with multiple interfaces.

    Also, in terms of default routes and odm updates, you can also use chdev on inet0 to make changes (what smitty does anyway AFAIK).
