Great to know, Phil!<br><br>We did add to the docs to explain that you couldn't choose a host any more:<br><br><a href="http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/specify-host-to-boot-instances-on.html">http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/specify-host-to-boot-instances-on.html</a><br>

and then added this page to let people know how to choose a zone<br><br><a href="http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/specify-zone-to-boot-instances-on.html">http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/specify-zone-to-boot-instances-on.html</a><br>

<br>This doc bug requests the additional information about the policy enforcement so we can update the doc.<br><a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1096168">https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1096168</a><br>

Subject: Re: [Openstack] How to create vm instance to specific compute node?<br>
<br>
No.<br>
<br>
Use nova boot --availability_zone=nova:hostname where nova: is your availability zone and hostname is the hostname of the compute node you wish to put the instance on.<br>
<br>
Note this is an admin-only ability by default and can oversubscribe the compute node the instance goes on.<br>
