Hello Experts,
I am building a 2 node ESXI cluster. I will be running 1 VM per hosts with VM memory reservation. The configuration is something like this :
ESXI config = 18 physical cores and 256 GB memory.
VM config = 16 vCPU and 192 GB memory.
I will be running VM with 1:1 cpu over commit and hence will be running 1 VM on 1 ESXI host. Now, if 1 ESXI host in a cluster goes down my VM will go down and HA will move the VM to other surviving ESXI host in down state and the VM will not be powered on because VM memory cannot be guaranteed due to reservation. Now the question is - when the malfunctioned ESXI host comes up will the VM be restarted on this host automatically or manual intervention will be required. HA and DRS will be enabled in the cluster with DRS in fully automated mode.
Many thanks
