I'd seriously recommend building a new VM on one of the hosts (for testing purposes), vmotion all the other VM's off the host and test HA. This is the only way you can be certain that HA is configured and works correctly.

HI,

Admission Control policy & Violate Resource contention is very critical factor to test the HA functionality test.

hmm, You need to shutdown the host or isolate from the network. I hope, there is no other way to test it.

If you find this or any other answer useful please consider awarding points by marking the answer correct or helpful

Dear "msatya", not sure why you are bumping up all these 1 year threads... But there really is no point.
