They will appear and disappear as they are in use. You can set MINSERVERS (default 1) and MAXSERVERS (default 10) in smit>Devices>Asynchronous I/O> Change/Show Cahracteristics of Async I/O.

Oracle recommends max to at least 10 times number of disks (a bit OT IMHO) min to max / 2

Whan running the number of processes will increase to max as they are in use and decrease to min whan activity stops - I take it you have at least 1 or 2 always running ?
