Hi Shani,

Thanks for your reply. I’m aware for how to set it in the UI.

Note that because the VM is defined with Affinity label, I must first remove the affinity label from the VM and only than to choose a different host as you specified below (via the UI).

But my question is for how to set a different host using Python SDK API.

I tried/plan this via Python SDK API:

- Stop the VM.

- Remove its Affinity label.

- Update its host to the target host.

- Start the VM.

But the result is that the VM is always keep starting on its current host.

For updating the VM host, I used few ways as:

vm_service.update( types.Vm( host=types.Host( id=host_id ), ) )

Or:

vm_service.update( types.Vm( host=types.Host( name=host_name ), ) )

Then started the VM using:

vm_service.start()

or using:

vm_service.start( vm=types.Vm( host=types.Host( name=host_name ), ) )

vm_service.start( vm=types.Vm( host=types.Host( id=host_id ), ) )

I get no errors, but VM keeps starting on the current host and not on the new target host.

BTW - in case it would start on the target host, the plan is to add affinity label back just after.

Thanks,

Lavi Buchnik

Hi,

You can set this one from the UI:

VM > Edit > Show advanced options (bottom left button) > host > Start running on > specific host
