hi,

the 'Host Failure Response' of HA hast to be selected as 'Restart VMs' to restart VM on other  hosts in the cluster after parent host failure.

Please refer the section 'Respond to Host Failure' in vSphere Availability guide for the detailed steps.

Hold on... you are powering off a host? If you power off a host then VMs will not be restarted as you initiated the power-off. http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2014/04/04/esxi-dcui-shutdown-vs-vcenter-shutdown-host/ Normally you use vMotion (migration) in the web client to move running VMs first.
