A storage device is considered to be in the permanent device loss (PDL) state when it becomes permanently unavailable to your ESXi host.
When the storage array determines that the device is permanently unavailable, it sends SCSI sense codes to the ESXi host. After receiving the sense codes, your host recognizes the device as failed and registers the state of the device as PDL. For the device to be considered permanently lost, the sense codes must be received on all its paths.
After registering the PDL state of the device, the host stops attempts to reestablish connectivity or to send commands to the device.
vSphere Web Client displays the following information for the device:
■ The operational state of the device changes to Lost Communication.
■ All paths are shown as Dead.
■ Datastores on the device are not available.
