the resource pool changes. For example, if you shut down non-essential VMs or add hosts to the pool,
XenServer would make a fresh attempt to restart VMs. You should be aware of the following caveats:

XenServer does not automatically stop or migrate running VMs in order to free up resources so that
VMs from a failed host can be restarted elsewhere.

If you wish to shut down a protected VM to free up resources, you must first disable its HA
protection. Unless HA is disabled, shutting down a protected VM would trigger a restart.

You can also specify the number of server failures to be tolerated.

XenCenter provides a configuration event summary under the resource pool’s Logs tab.

Following the HA configuration, you can individually tailor the settings for each VM using its
Properties tab (select PropertiesHigh Availability).
If you create additional VMs, the Configure HA can be used as a summary page for status for all high
availability VMs.
