vCenter Server Appliance 5.1 does'nt start if all nodes was off and HA is activated

Hi

I have here on my lab a 5.1 essentials plus setup with 2 nodes, the HA configuration works well if the vCenter appliance is running and the other node is failing, the vms on the other nodes re-starts on the living node.

ok, cool so far :smileycool:

But if i shutdown the hole cluster and power on again both nodes, the ha does'nt really work and the vcenter app are not automatic restartet.  the ha state on the hosts are with a "?" marked.

Is there a way to automaticly start the appliance on each cluster start?

the HA settings are on HIGH and all vms (2, vcenter app and a windows test server) has this policy.

Anyone a hint for me how to archive that the appliance ist starting?

Thank you for any help
