HA Restarted Which VM's?

I had an ESX host crash just now but I can't tell which machines were on it.  It looks like HA restarted all VM's but I don't know which VM's....  I don't see any events in vcenter showing them being restarted...  Thoughts?

Hi,

     VC task&events should certainly show the same.Go to VC>File Export>Export Events>Select the exact date&time at which issue occurred and collect the logs for System.Save it in a  txt file and analyse the same.

Perfect.  I see them.  Thankfully only a few servers were running on it..

Thanks.

there's a nice script to list the VMs that have been restarted to be found here:
