Yup, the config on the controller doesn't apply to the computes or 
placement because the computes are what report the inventory to 
placement so you have to configure the allocation ratios there, or 
starting in stein via (resource provider) aggregate.

That's something else yeah? I didn't quite dig into that email and the 
allocation ratio thing popped up to me since it's been a long standing 
known painful issue/behavior change since Ocata.

One question though, I read your original email as essentially "(1) I 
did x and got some failures, then (2) I changed something and now 
everything fails", but are you running from a clean environment in both 
test scenarios because if you have VMs on the computes when you're doing 
(2) then that's going to change the scheduling results in (2), i.e. the 
computes will have less capacity since there are resources allocated on 
them in placement.
