Configure HA to exclude specific Virtual Machines

[sbroskey]

I'm wondering if you can configure HA to exclude specific Virtual Machines. During the configuration of HA I get a message about lack of resources. I have a red triangle in the cluster icon but not the host server icon. I don't need all my Virtual Machines to failover so I was hoping in order to conserve resources I can configure certain VM's to just shut down? Is this possible?

Thanks

Scott

Go in cluster settings / HA / Virtual Machine Options.

Se VM restart priority to disabled.

I made that but after use this configuration, there any issue to enable the Automatic startup/shutdown of my Esx node? This node is in a HA Cluster but i want to startup the machine that i had excluded from the HA.

Best regards
