VM failed and won't start. Displaying "An emulator required to run this VM failed to start"

Just adding another note. When I reboot the host everything is fine then the issues pops back up. There doesn't seem to be any consistency as far as timeframe in between. It just happens randomly
-
Any help is greatly appreciated.

That's not a trivial problem that you have, it seems to be intermittent and could be anything between host and the storage. I assume you can see the issue as soon you have the
rejecting I/O to offline deviceright? -
Yes
-
At least we know there's a root cause: the device becomes offline. Could it be a power setting or something on the device itself?
-
Well, it doesn't happen to every host at the same time, it's just random.

What log is best to look at for network disconnects?
-
Well
dmesgis fine, I would also check the switch logs if you have anything happening on the ports where you host are connected. Since you can find when it's happening withdmesg, I would use that to correlate with anything else happening few minutes before. -
dmesg -T is only showing these from 00:37 on.

Then try to find anything happening around that time on other hosts, equipment, storage and so on.
