<p dir="auto">Hi team,</p>
<p dir="auto">I recently added a second node to my cluster, but I’m running into an issue regarding how virtual machines are provisioned.</p>
<p dir="auto">Whenever I create a new VM, it is always automatically deployed on Node 1, and never on Node 2.</p>
<p dir="auto">Could you please explain how VM placement or scheduling works once a cluster is set up? Specifically:</p>
<pre><code>Is there a way to manually target/steer a new VM creation to Node 2?

Does multiportal handle automatic load balancing or resource-based placement across cluster nodes, or do I need to configure something specific?
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">Thanks for your help!</p>
<p dir="auto">Best regards,<img src="/assets/uploads/files/1787244288635-capture-d-x27-%C3%A9cran-2026-08-20-184403.png" alt="Capture d'écran 2026-08-20 184403.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
