Rohan,
images is the logical device / LV
rimages is the raw device mainly used for raw IO databases
images is merely a pointer to your raw device rimages. Just fsck
/dev/images.

Subject: [aix-l] filesystem corruption
One of my filesystem is corrupted and needs an fsck. From the error logs I
noted the major/minor numbers and did an ls -la /dev directory. I found that
there are 2 entires with the same major and minor numbers images
(brw-rw----) and rimages (crw-rw-----). I know I should fsck only
/dev/images filesystem,but Iam curious to know what is rimages entry in the
/dev directory..? and what is this used for..?
