Removing hosts in VSAN cluster resulted to some VMs having zero data

How is the proper way to remove hosts in a vsan cluster?

we encountered that our client removed two hosts then suddenly some VMs showed zero data.

They said they entered the two hosts to maintenance mode.

Good afternoon, if you have enough nodes; when you put the host into maintenance mode you can choose to evacuate the data.  Do that and wait until it is done before removing the host.  Thank you, Zach.
