Thanks for the updates... appreciated. One of the SA's who supports my app has advised me that a few network interfaces went into defined state over a year ago. I'm not suggesting something nefarious is going on, I would simply like to know how he determined that.
Basically, you should also ask - went into Defined state from what.
FYI (although you may know this already) - Defined means, simply, that there is an entry in the CuDv (Customized Device) ODM file. Available means there is "also" a system driver/kernel extension that is associated with the device.
An Available device can be made Defined by using the command
rmdev -l devName
And made available using the command
mkdev -l devName
AND: this needs to all be happening via the ODM
In short, what I hope to point out - defined is a particular - and often NORMAL state for devices listed by lsdev. Especially if the device is being managed "manually" rather than via ODM (aka cfgmgr).
I hope this clarifies (helps) with understanding device states on AIX.
