I'm curious what happens to a VMWare guest when the host fails. If I have a VMWare ESXi host running on a server where the vmdk's reside on (and are booted from) an iSCSI SAN or an iSCSI/NFS NAS what happens when the host's hardware fails? An example would be a RAID 5 disk failure. Should the VM still be intact and OK so it can just be moved to a new host server? Would the vmdk potentially have suffered corruption even though the disks local to the server are not hosting the VM?
