Why each option

VMCP provides two configurable responses when a datastore enters an All Paths Down state to protect running virtual machines.

AIssue EventsCorrect

Issue Events is a valid APD response that logs the condition and generates alerts without taking disruptive action on the affected VMs, suitable when the administrator wants awareness without automation.

BPower off and restart virtual machinesCorrect

Power off and restart virtual machines is the active APD response that powers off VMs on the affected datastore and instructs HA to attempt restarting them on hosts with accessible storage paths.

CReset virtual machines

Reset virtual machines is not an available response option for APD conditions in VMCP; it does not appear in the APD response configuration.

DLeave Powered On

Leave Powered On is not a selectable VMCP response setting for APD - the only choices are disabled, issue events, or power off and restart.
