How to configure high availability vmware 6.0

Hi Experts,

We setup a Shared storage DAS for our 2 Esxi hosts and tested the Vmotion successfully.

Now we are looking to automate failover. How to we configure and test HA?

We have Essentials plus and Vcenter.

Thanks

Create a Cluster, Edit the Cluster and Select HA.

To test remove power from a host, the Powered ON VMs, should automatically restart on the other Host.

This is REMOVE POWER, not a shutdown, it has to be an uncontrolled shutdown.
