Virtual center (Help)

Hi all,

I am a rookie on ESX, hope you guys could give me a hand.

Question:

VM installed with virtual center (only one in our company)

HA and DRS setting are in place, if the VM of Virtual center is down.

Will the Vmotion and HA still working?

Thanks

Welcome to the forums and th eworld of virtualization - vmotion and DRS will not function if the VM hosting VC is down but HA will work since the failover is pushed down to the ESX hosts -

Welcome to the Forums Ronaldo,

I have moved your post into the correct forum for Virtual Center postings,

if you VC machine is down, DRS and VMotion will not functions as these are tied to VC, however the ESX hosts manage HA and therefore will still function.
