Hi,
For some reason one of the host in a HA cluster disconneted from the vCenter server. The Host Isolation Response is 'Leave Powered On'. But it seems to me, that the HA wanted to restart the VMs on other hosts. But this restart attempt was unsuccessfull because of the lock was not free. Why HA wanted to restart the VMs when leave powered on was set?

If it is both Network and Storage isolated (typical in converged environments, or with iSCSI / NFS storage) then HA wouldn't know that the host is isolated but thinks it is dead. Because it thinks it is dead it will try to restart the VMs. This will however fail because the VMs are locked.
Not much you can do about it. Isolation Resonse = Response of the host which is isolated to the isolation event. Doesn't say much about what the other hosts will or will not do
