Yes, the cable was a fiber cable connecting two switches, one which connects host 1 and PS 1 (NFS share running on host 1), and the other switch connects host 2 and PS 2 (NFS share running on host 2).

So was this cable connecting a couple of switches together? I'm confused when 
you say a single cable was connecting 4 devices, unless there is a switch or 
multiple switches involved. Is the primary storage NFS?

KVM, and the damaged cable connected host 2 and PS 2 back to the host 1
and PS 1.  Does that give you enough info to work with?

What hypervisor are you using and what did the damaged cable connect?

Subject: 1 Pod Host Offline, All VMs Shut Down

Greetings,

I have 2 hosts in a pod, and 3 primary storage shares. I just ran into
an issue where a cable accidentally got damaged which took host 2
offline and primary storage 2 offline, but ALL of my VMs shut down
spontaneously.  Weird, because only half of my VMs are running on host 2
and primary storage 2.  Even the VMs on host 1 and primary storage 1
shut down.  Can anyone shed light on why this would have happened and
how I can avoid this in the future?

Much thanks,
Asai
