Description
Hi team,
I recently added a second node to my cluster, but I’m running into an issue regarding how virtual machines are provisioned.
Whenever I create a new VM, it is always automatically deployed on Node 1, and never on Node 2.
Could you please explain how VM placement or scheduling works once a cluster is set up? Specifically:
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?Thanks for your help!
Best regards,
