There is a new storage-related feature, VM Component Protection (VMCP), that protects virtual machines from possible storage issues.
There are two different types of methods that can be managed by VMCP:
PDL: It occurs when the storage array issues a SCSI sense code indicating that the device is unavailable (for example, a failed LUN).
APD: Usually, related to an underlying storage/networking issue, different from a PDL because the host doesn’t have enough information to determine if the device loss is temporary or permanent.
