Low on resources on one of two host.

I had a bad Dimm on an FX 630 host. ( I have 2 host) I shut it down and replaced the Dimm. When I started it back up, none of my VM's migrated back to it? All my VM's are on one host. I have HA and DRS turned on. They were inb a cluster. I'm using Vsphere 6.0.

At first look, it seems odd that DRS hasn't suggested some of the VMs migrate to "host 2".

Have a look at this article: Load Balancing vSphere Clusters with DRS - VMware vSphere Blog

What do these metrics look like on your cluster?

Do you get any vMotion issues if you manually try and migrate any of the VMs from "host 1" to "host 2"?

DRS fully automated? If not, got recommendations to apply? What are the relative compute resource loads of the 2 hosts?

Yes, We had Vmotion issues. We fixed it and it had positive progress from then on.
