This video features a discussion and demonstration of using the vSphere Web Client or PowerCLI to identify which virtual machines were impacted and restarted after an ESXi host failure. In this demo, our good friend Duncan Epping who is a Principal Architect within the VMware Technical Marketing team, goes through the various places where you can find some information and details concerning virtual machines that may have failed during the ESXi outage. For additional details, check out Duncan's or Graham Daly's blog posts.
