1. Disable DRS(Change Automation Level!) for your VirtualCenter VM and make sure to document where the VirtualCenter server is located (My suggestion would be the first ESX Box)
2. Enable HA for the VirtualCenter server, and set the startup priority to high
3. Make sure the VirtualCenter server gets enough resources by setting the shares “high”, and maybe even set reservations
4. Make sure VirtualCenter starts up automatically when a power cut occurs (Configuration, Virtual Machine Startup and Shutdown)
5. Make sure other services and servers that VirtualCenter relies on are also starting automatically, with a high priority and in the correct order like:
- Active Directory
- DNS
- SQL
