A VM-Host affinity rule states that VM group 'X' must run on hosts in group 'Y'. If all ESXi hosts in group 'Y' fail, which is the resulting behavior with vSphere HA enabled?
The virtual machines in group 'X' will failover to hosts that do not belong to group 'Y', but will vMotion back to hosts in group 'Y' when they become available.
The virtual machines in group 'X' will not failover to hosts that do not belong to group 'Y'.
This scenario is not possible because vSphere HA and DRS cannot work together.
The virtual machines in group 'X' will only fail over to hosts that do not belong to group 'Y' if they are marked as "High" VM Restart Priority within vSphere HA.

If only one of the isolation addresses is reachable, the host will not be marked isolated by HA.
If only one of the isolation addresses is reachable, the host will be considered in an isolated by HA.
ESXi hosts with 10Gbps network cards are attached to a distributed switch. The administrator has upgraded to NIOC3 and wants to allow vMotion traffic to use as much bandwidth as possible but must ensure that other services always have sufficient bandwidth. How can this be done?
