Can anyone give a definition of each of the models? I have noticed that my VMs always create on a particular node in the cluster even though I have 6 other nodes that are identical in specs to that one. I have tried first fit (makes sense it would do to the same one till it was full), random (I would expect it to NOT always go to the same one) and userdispersing (not sure what to expect with this one, but tried it anyways). In the logs when it's trying to figure out which node to use, it always finds all the nodes and declares them all fit, but it always puts them on the same node. It seems the algorithms don't work as well as they should. I did restart after each change and could see it was using the new method.
