PDL:
The 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.
If no open connections to the device exist, or after the last connection closes, the host removes the PDL device and all paths to the device. You can disable the automatic removal of paths by setting the advanced host parameter Disk.AutoremoveOnPDL to 0.

APD:
The vSphere Web Client displays the following information for the device with the expired APD timeout:
– The operational state of the device changes to Dead or Error.
– All paths are shown as Dead.
– Datastores on the device are dimmed.
Even though the device and datastores are unavailable, virtual machines remain responsive. You can power off the virtual machines or migrate them to a different datastore or host.
