Here is a technote that might help with some of what you want:
   http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21433016

It contains a sample "as-is" Powershell script that you can
modify to meet your specific needs.

Please keep in mind the current best practices that are
shown in the User's Guide.

Thanks,

Del
