    We already enabled vSphere HA but when first host went down then some of the VMs ( 4 of 5) didn't migrate to second host, we need to add those server manually and add VMs from inventory.

    -vCenter 6.0.0, 3634794

    -ESXi, 5.5.0, 2068190 (first and scond host).

    All virtual machines are stored on shared datastore accessible by both hosts? I'm asking this because on your first picture, the second warning message says the following: vSphere HA did not reset this VM because the VM had file on inaccessible datastore.

    Hi Richardson,

    Thank you for your response. Those VMs stored on shared datastored. Those VMs can vMotion between host.

    Hi,

    If you are having able to access the datastore from both the ESXi host then just try to re-configure HA i.e. disable and re-enable HA and check it out.
