In vCenter, select the host. In the right pane, select the Virtual Machines tab. It will show you the virtual machines (guests) running on that host.

I recently setup HA for the first time. Not sure if I did it right, lol. I have 2 ESX vSphere 4.1 hosts. Only HOST-A had VMs running on it (14), HOST-B was empty. Both hosts have the same processors, memory, etc. After building my vCenter VM and installed VI Client and vCenter software, I added the 2 hosts to the vCenter datacetner. I then created a Cluster in that datacenter and moved my hosts (drag and drop) from the Datacenter to the Cluster itself. Now, all my VMs which were running on HOST-A, are showing under the Cluster itself instead of HOST-A. I'm guessing that's normal but... 1. Shouldn't I be able to see, somewhere, which VM is running under which host? (though, at the moment, ALL VMs are running on HOST-A) I can't seem to find where the Cluster shows which VMs are under which host. 2. when powering on a VM, I don't have the option to power it on, on a different host? I see that, when creating a new VM, it asks me which host I want to use for the VM. I guess I THOUGHT when powering on a VM, i would get asked which Host should run the VM, but it doesn't do that... So, if I want to manually move a VM from one host to another, what is the process for that? 3. Was I correct in MOVING my hosts from the vCenter datacenter to the cluster IN that datacenter? Or should I have added new hosts instead? Just a bit confused by this, thanks.
