<div>Hi,</div>
<div>I think that the filters should be applied to the list of hosts that are in ‘force_hosts’. I am not sure if this is what you are suggesting. If this is not then case then it sounds like a bug.</div>
<div>Thanks</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi:
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div> If we boot instance with 'force_hosts', the force host will skip all filters, looks like that it's intentional logic, but I don't know the reason.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> I'm not sure that the skipping logic is apposite, I think we should remove the skipping logic, and the 'force_hosts' should work with the scheduler, test whether the force host is appropriate ASAP. Skipping filters and postponing the booting failure
to nova-compute is not advisable.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> On the other side, more and more options had been added into flavor, like NUMA, cpu pinning, pci and so on, forcing a suitable host is more and more difficult.</div>
</div>
