Vmware HA
when configuring High Availibility in Vmware, then one of ESX servers fails and the VMs move to another ESX server. In this case would the VMs that were on and servicing, would move to the other ESX server as they were previously or would they reboot.??

I remember we tested HA , and after we shut down one of the ESX server, the VM moved to another ESX server and rebooted.

<<<Just putting my 2 cents in here, if a VM Host fails, your VM Guest would start up on another host.>>>
If I understood your statement, it means Yes the VM machine will move to another host but it will be rebooted. Correct?

in VI client console, there is a link "Migrate virtual machine" I believe this is Vmotion )kind of manual vmotion. I remember I tried this on a powered VM and moved it to another host and the VM rebooted.
When you check off "Turn on Vmware HA"
I guess this means automatic Vmotion, in case the host fails. Correct ?
As of DRS, I guess we just need to check it off and let it do the job, because we can not see the results as long as there is no bottleneck noticed. Correct?
