Failback to Old Master Host in Vmware vSphere HA

I discovered if the master host fails in the cluster the slave becomes the master and when old master is recovered from any kind of failure it becomes slave. Does that means at that time no re-election is made? and as well as is there any method to do re-election by any setting in vSphere HA if it is recovered from the failure.

Yes.

None that I would know of.

With the Master/Slave model in vSphere 5 I don't see the requirement anymore to have the roles on dedicated hosts as with vSphere 4, where you had the Primary/Secondary model.
