Once i fixed this and re-enabled HA it worked fine I had the same issue but mine was fixed by not having the vmkernel gateway for vmotion pointing to an existing ip address.

To not have HA depend on an "external" (but core) source like DNS. On the other hand, people should configure DNS correct, consistent naming and numbering of anything in DNS and VC (nics, hba's, hostnames, luns) is a must! Oke, thats better.

This is actually a big change. I just happen to speak with the Product Manager and one engineer for HA last week who provided more detail about this. They said that HA is no longer dependent on the ESX server being correctly configured for DNS. During configuration and startup, HA now uses the VC Server's hostname/IP info instead. The reason for this change is because they have found many customers do not have correct DNS setups and it was causing a lot of service calls. They said HA still creates and uses the ft_hosts file during operation.
