Is there a way on how to migrate a VM automatically to another server when the server is turned off?

I've reported your thread to moderators, asking them to move it to the area for vSphere availability, so it gets the correct audience.

The {code} area is for SDK matters.

vSphere basically offers two methods:

• HA: In case of a host failure, VMs will be restarted on another host in the cluster
• DRS: This feature will live migrated VMs to other hosts, if a host is placed into Maintenance Mode before it is shut down.

Please remember that both option require shared storage, on which the VM is stored.

@a_p_ ’s correct. Additional infomation is here.

• vSphere HA - vSphere Essentials Plus or Above
• vSphere DRS - vSphere Enterprise Plus is needed

So, need to have specific license for each features.
