How does HA assign hosts if DRS is not running

I'm using vSphere advanced and ESX4 on three hosts. The advanced version includes HA but not DRS.

If one of my hosts fails, how does the system decide which VMs are migrated to each remaining host when DRS is not available?

VMware HA will choose the hosts.
