Make sure that the license and licenseserver information is correctly and that the server get's a license from the license server.

and make sure that you have an enterprise version because only then they are available.

Hi There

You cannot run VC v2.0.1 with ESX v3.0.2 you MUST upgrade VC to v2.0.2

I am not a DRS/HA expert, but do you have a cluster built between the two servers? If you don't have a cluster the HA/DRS options won't be available.

make sure that you have each other esx names in host file. servers have to be able to see each other by name. also update your VC

You need to create a cluster within the datacenter and add your two servers to the cluster to get the options
