Auto failback VM to restored Host in HA Cluster?

What is the Mechanism to migrate the VMs from the failover host to the original Host that the VM was on once the Host is back on-line?

I have a 2 Host Cluster and want to have the VMs move back to the Failed host after it is brought back on-line. I know I can do this Manually, though is there an Automatic way that this can be done?


Thanks!

There is no such feature to allow virtual machine failback, but if you have DRS enabled in your cluster, you can use VM-Host Affinity Rules to pin virtual machine to hosts. See: How to Configure VMware Affinity Rules for DRS and Storage DRS | Pluralsight
