storage vmotion and ip address question
Hi,
If we have HA setup, when one ESX host goes down, vm guests will move over to another ESX host right? How does it keeping the same IP address? Does it control by vswitch?

Yes, I understood that part, once it moved it will register with new ESX host. As long as if we have same network label, then it should work.
That is correct.

Thank you very much. What do you mean by same order? IF I have 5 ESX hosts in my farm, how do I need to setup the IP addresses?

HA (which does not use vMotion), restarts Virtual Machines on another ESX/ESXi host, when an ESXi/ESX host fails.
