We're using the (mostly) default scheduler settings. policy=1, MAX_HOST=1, etc. My question came about because we had an empty host and instantiated a number of VMs, and they all landed on the empty host. I have no doubt we have something funky in our setup. I'll have to experiment with the scheduler more.
Thanks for the quick reply, Carlos.

No, but you can set a specific SCHED_REQUIREMENTS and _RANK in the Template [1] Basically I want to spread a type of VM across as many hosts as possible, as long as the hosts have available resources for it. For example, if I have four hosts that have VMs and one that's empty, I don't want the five (web1-web5) VMs I'm about about to instantiate to all end up on that empty host. I want one on each host. However, if I start three more (web6-web8), it should place based on available resources. Hopefully that makes sense. Thank you -Mark That's how the scheduler works by default [2]. The policy is Striping, and MAX_HOST is set to 1. The striping policy will try to send the VMs to the host with less running VMs, but because of max_host = 1, only one VM will be sent to the empty host in that scheduling cycle. If you change the default policy, use SCHED_RANK = "- RUNNING_VMS" in your Template.
