I found the following information on this website http://www.oracleutilities.com/OSUtil/dbstart.html:

Auto Start on AIX

For AIX servers, the system initialization file is /etc/inittab and the initialization script is /etc/rc. A utility (/usr/sbin/mkitab) can be used to make an entry in the inittab file. The shutdown script for AIX is /usr/sbin/shutdown, although it should not be modified to support dbshut.

To add the dbstart utility to the AIX initialization process, the following steps can be performed:

Create the script /etc/rc.oracle. The script should contain the following:

su oracle <<EOF
<$ORACLE_HOME>/bin/dbstart

EOF 2. Add the script to the inittab using the mkitab utility.

$ /usr/sbin/mkitab "rcoracle:2:wait:/etc.rc.oracle >/dev/console 2>&1"

All references to <$ORACLE_HOME> should be replaced with the actual Oracle Home directory. Now upon system startup, the dbstart utility is invoked at run level 2.
