When disks in Veritas Storage Foundation are configured with MPIO, several events for device removal get logged.

V-218-40960-12 - Device (%2,%3,%4,%5) is removed from array %6 of %7

Check to see if any HBA failure. Ignore if there is no failure and number of DSM path(s) is/are shown correctly. (sometimes, during system start up, system can initialize the disk, so device can go and come back to the system)
Check for vxdmpadm logs for any errors regarding path failures
Make sure the HBA drivers, storport/miniport drivers and MPIO drivers are updated. If using Veritas DMP/DSM ensure to have the latest DDI package installed
