How to find out the list of VMs that were restarted because of an ESX failed ?

Is there any log file or command available to find out the list of restarted VMs, Since an ESX server went down in a cluster environment?

Example:

I have configured 5 ESX boxes and 25 Vms in my cluster. Each ESX is having 5 VMs. Suddenly one of an ESX went down and all VMs that were hold by that issued ESX, migrated / restarted to some other ESX boxes.

Now i want to know what all were VMs migrated / restarted? Consider, things happened 10 days back.

The reason why i asked this question - I am in the process of doing root cause analysis of all VMs unfortunate reboot. If i got an answer for my above question. it will make my job better. Thanks in advance for any valuable post on this.

Thanks,

Gany
