To pin the VM to a set of hosts you have to use Vm.placement_policy, as described here: http://ovirt.github.io/ovirt-engine-api-model/4.1/#types/vm/attributes/pl... With the Python SDK it should be something like this: vm = vms_service.add( vm=types.Vm( ... placement_policy=types.PlacementPolicy( hosts=[ types.Host(name='host-01') ] ) ) )

If in addition to pin the VM to a host you also want to disable migration, you can use the Vm.placement_policy.affinity attribute: vm = vms_service.add( vm=types.Vm( ... placement_policy=types.VmPlacementPolicy( hosts=[ types.Host(name='host-01') ], affinity=types.VmAffinity.PINNED ) ) ) Martin, I think that you can explain better than me what are the meanings of the values of the VmAffinity enum, and what is it relationship to pinning.
