It would have been interesting to know in which state the device was: AIX devices can be in state "Defined", which means their configuration information is in the ODM but the device itself is either removed or not working, or "Available", which means the device is configured like in "Defined" but also there.
If you delete the ODM information of a device which is only defined (this is what
rmdev ultimately does) you won't get it back from running
cfgmgr, obviously.
Show the output of the command
lsdev -Cc adapter command to see what you really have at your system.
I hope this helps.
