Yes, but from the first error message you did not know which device AIX considers being busy. Now you know that it was not the rmt0 device. Run cfgmgr to get rmt0 back and then identify any device in the device tree of rmt0. Use
# lsdev -l <device> -F parent
for any device beginning from rmt0 till you end up at the slot and try to rmdev any device manually to identify the device which AIX considers being busy.

Secondly check that in the lpar's profile the slot is defined as optional (not required) to be fit for DLPARing. You need to stop and activate the LPAR to change this.
