vCenter 5.5 HA question

Hi!

We have 2 ESXI 5.5 server with vSphere HA enable. Right now, someone configured vm to run on the 2 host. Memory usage is now a little bit over 64gb of ram, for full HA is not possible.

I would like to know if it is possible, if host 1 fails, VM that are not critical on Host 2 go down so that all vms on Host 1 will be able to move to host2?

I know you can set in the clusters settings, host isolation response from host 1 to host 2, I can shutdown vms, but by configuring this, vm on host 2 could be shut down?

Thanks

The HA settings offer an option to set the VM Restart Priority for the VMs. Priorities for VMs can be defined from High to Disabled.
