asked on vmware essentials vs essentials plus question
I realize with vmware essentials plus you get vMotion, HA, and Data Recovery. The question I have is that what if 100% up time is not necessarily an issue, or vMotion is not necessary.
If I have vmware essentials (not plus) and I have two hosts in a cluster with a SAN. Lets say 1 host goes down while 2 servers were running. Will I be able to (easily) move those 2 servers off of the down host to the host that is online? What is the process to do this without vmotion/ha ?

Ok, that is what I figured. So when the other host comes back up it will receive the information that the VM that was running is no longer there in its inventory and update accordingly?
It's likely to have what we called an orphaned version (e.g. lite gray) which you can remove from inventory.
