Hello, I am testing guest VM migration in the event of a host crash, and I am surprised to see that guests that are selected to be highly available do not migrate when a host is forcibly turned off. I have a 2 host cluster using iSCSI for storage, and when one of the hosts, either the SPM or normal, is forcibly turned off, although the engine sees the host as non-responsive, the VMs that were running on it remain on that crashed host, and a question mark (?) appears next to them. Other than checking "highly available", is there another step that needs to be made for a VM to be restarted on a working host should the host it is running on fail? Thanks, R.
