hdiskpower or hdisk display as "defined" ? The "defined" state normally means the device is inaccessible from host.

Right, the device in "defined" state cannot be reached from host,  but the system has created another hdiskpower and

the applications are working, my problem is to cleanup everything by removing all the "defined" state and getting the

good hdiskpower numbers.

If you make sure your applications are working on the available hdiskpower devices without any single path failure or any "defined" state of hdisks managed by PowerPath and the hdiskX you're going to remove are never used, try rmdev -dl hdiskX will removed the old definition of hdisk, then after run cfgmgr, the hdisk wouldn't appear again.
