OK, now that I've (kind of) caught up over on the VM list I see you already had disconnected the other ends of the cables from your mainframe(s). When that loss of light took place if nothing happened then your worst case at this point in disconnecting the cables is a clumsy technician. Still wouldn't hurt to block the ports (and drop them from whatever zones they are in).
