The best way to test the failover aka High Availability option is to find out on which node your VM is running and then turn it off.

My Windows 7 is on HC1

Turn off HC1.

And after a little bit of waiting... He's on HC2.

And then there's the lesson of always having a backup ready, because even failover didn't save this machine ;) In all fairness, it was mid installation!
