Related to this post, I have a perl script that can manipulate rrds:
- adding RRA's (so you can add MAX and MIN)
- adding DS's for the extra vmstat number with AIX 5.3)
- changing the DS (so you can keep the data longer)
- migrate from OS to OS (with rrdtool dump and restore)

Let me know if you are interested.  The script itself uses some custom perl 
library's so I can not publish them, but I can try to filter out the needed 
information and procedures.
