Abstract
In one embodiment, a method determines a first set of virtual machines and a second set of virtual machines. The first set of virtual machines is associated with a first priority level and the second set of virtual machines is associated with a second priority level. A first set of computing resources and a second set of computing resources are associated with hosts. Upon determining a failure of a host, the method performs: generating a power off request for one or more of the second set of virtual machines powered on the second set of computing resources and generating a power on request for one or more virtual machines from the first set of virtual machines that were powered on the failed host, the power on request powering on the one or more virtual machines from the first set of virtual machines on the second set of computing resources.
