You can configure VMware HA to tolerate a specified number of host failures. With the Host Failures Cluster Tolerates admission control policy, VMware HA ensures that a specified number of hosts can fail and sufficient resources remain in the cluster to fail over all the virtual machines from those hosts.

In the event of a host failure, the virtual machines running on that host are failed over, that is, restarted on the alternate hosts with the most available unreserved capacity (CPU and memory.)
