Each ESX host has 10VM’s. When one of the ESX host fails(maybe any reason), 

a) will the VM’s get rebooted to any of the other 3 hosts(coz of HA) and then DRS will optimize the resources ? 
b) or will Vmotion happen(coz of DRS)? 
Basically am trying to find out if the VM’s would reboot/restart at all ?

I was trying to connect the vmware serial console from my esx host.
Steps I followed:
Made the changes into the virtual machine properties. 
      serialport 1: use named pipe 
      pipe name : /vmfs/volumes/Storage1/vm1/pipe1 
      near end : server 
      far end : the virtual machine
issue: the pip1 socket file is not getting created hence I am not able to 
talk to the socket pipe1 through socat command.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated!

I would like to be alerted when an Exchange server moves from host to host, since they do not always move cleanly.

This question was asked during the Microsoft System Center live chat on IT Knowledge Exchange in January 2010.
