Yeah there is a radio button under the HA setting of the cluster that says "Disable: power on vms that violate availablity constraints" select that and you can power on those machines.
*edit* you cant exclude a VM from HA but you can override the setting for the individual machines set them to restart priority to disabled, but im not sure if this excludes the machine from the availablity constraints calculations.
Cheers
