My client would like to protect against a hardware failure on a single host running 2 VMs by using 2 hosts configured with HA. If vCenter is running as a VM on a host with the 2 production VMs and the host fails, will the other host be able to recover the work loads automatically, or will the someone need to access the running host directly to start vCenter and the 2 production VMs?
Obviously 3 hosts would be better, but budge doesn't allow. Shared storage, adequate resources to run 3+ VMs on each host. vSphere 5.5 Essentials Plus Kit
Thank you.
