I have successfully configured my two ESXi hosts to shutdown during a power outage. After numerous tests, I have noticed everything successfully shuts down but when powering up, PCNS fails to start the VCSA. The part that doesn't make sense is since PCNS can communicate with VCSA to start the shutdown sequence, how can it somehow forget where the appliance is located when its time to start it back up?
Here's my configuration:
ESXi Host 1 - x.139.4
VCSA and PCNS
ESXi Host 2 - x.139.7
Successfull VCSA settings:

Host Protection:
I would like to remind that PCNS does everything is supposed to in the event of a power outage. The only issue is VCSA shuts down properly but just can't be restarted by PCNS when the hosts return online.
P.S. Eventlog of my last test is attached.
