Vaguely related, in 2015 we were building a new platform based on Cisco UCS and NetApp filers.
Cisco had a virtual router. N1000 perhaps, the hardware was a C220 and it had some sort of appliance running on it. Which depended on some sort of LUN from NetApp for its storage. But you couldn’t stand the LUN up until the vCenter was up because UCS provisioned the LUN, it didn’t work if you did it manually, and that ran on vCenter, and the vCenter depended on the router so that it could reach the LUN. It was pure circular logic hell.
There was a path to make this work, but it literally took half a dozen very ~~clever~~ expensive Cisco and NetApp engineers a couple of days in a room with a whiteboard to figure it out. It was absurd.
