Managing virtual machines in placements
A virtual machine is assigned a placement when it is created from an image with the placement assigned. A VM can also inherit a placement from a volume created with an assigned image. However, a VM does not inherit the placement and changes to it from the node. For example, if you add a node with existing VMs to a placement, only the node will have the placement. The VMs will not inherit the same placement. Likewise, if you have a node and VMs on it assigned to the same placement, and you delete such a node from a placement, only the node will change the placement. The VMs on it will still keep the original placement.
- Virtual machines are created, as described in Creating virtual machines.
- Placements are created for compute nodes, as described in Managing placements for compute nodes.
- The node and VMs hosted on it have the same placement configuration.
Refer to the vinfra service compute server set command in the Administrator Command Line Guide.
