> Thanks,

your host in non-responsive, means the engine cant verify its status and the vms status on it. 
if you dont have power management (i guess you dont) and you absolutely sure the vms are really not running there anymore 
you can mark the host as been rebooted, and clear the its state. 
in the UI - right click the host and choose "confirm rebooted" 
in rest i think its called manual fence
