Any action done by the operator is always more important than what the Scheduler<br>

Are we suggesting that the operator would/should only ever specify a specific host if the situation is an emergency?<br>
<br>
If not, then perhaps it would make sense to have it go through the scheduler filters even if a host is specified. We could then have a "--force" flag that would proceed anyways even if the filters don't match.<br>
<br>
There are some cases (provider networks or PCI passthrough for example) where it really makes no sense to try and run an instance on a compute node that wouldn't pass the scheduler filters. Maybe it would make the most sense to specify a list of which filters to override while still using the others.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
