Hi Hari, AFAIK, in CloudStack if a host crashes CloudStack would detect the host as down after pingTimeout interval. CloudStack does not reduce the available capacity because the host capacity values are not removed from op_host_capacity table. It assumes the host down is a temporary issue.

That is different than VMware's HA in someways - in VMware, if a cluster is HA, when any host crashes, all VMs on that host will be restarted on a different host. With cloudstack, only VMs that are HA enabled will be restarted. At least, that is the way I understand this.. I also wonder what happens in CloudStack if a host crashes (assume there were no VMs on it) - would CloudStack detect this host is down and reduce the available capacity?
