So I have a 13 node cluster running a about 40 VMs. There a number of VMs scattered across the nodes that are in the HA state of error, but the VM iteslf is actually running. After moving the first VM from error->disabled->started, I realized that it was shutting down and restarting the VMs.

Is there a way to get the HA state back to started without having to actually restart the VM? The VMs themselves are mission critical and a restart needs to be avoided at all cost, and since they are already running and providing service, I don't want any HA reset action cause a VM restart.
 
I use to delete the VM from the HA resource list and add it again ... It's scriptable using ha-manager remove/add vmID
