VMDKs get disconnected during compatibility upgrade

It appears the VMDKs are getting disconnected during virtual hardware upgrades.   I thought it was due to CBT but can't seem to find a KB on the topic.  

Does anyone know what causes this and what the fix is?   you can re-attach the VMDKs, but you typically don't realize it happened until you power on the VM, and if DRS moves the VM to another host you can't re-attach the VMDKs until you migrate it back to the original host it was on when you performed the compatibility upgrade.

Thanks in advance for assisting.
