How to start a guest VM on different host?
Dear all,
When I stop and then start back a guest VM, CloudStack will try to start it
back on the same hypervisor host where the VM was hosted previously.
Is it possible for me to start a guest VM on a specific other hypervisor
host?
Looking forward to your reply, thank you.
Cheers.

Hi Sanjeev and Anshul,
Good day to you, and thank you for your replies.
Sanjeev - yes, host tagging works by creating a new service compute
offering with the host tag, change the guest VM's service compute offering
and start the guest VM. I have just tested earlier. However, this will
remove the HA functionality since if that particular host is down, the
guest VM will not be started on other available hosts because of the host
tag, so this is not the best solution IMHO.
Anshul - thanks for the info, will try this. If this works, then this would
be the best solution.
Thank you.

If you are root admin, you can use startVirtualMachine api call with hostId parameter

Hi,
Try using host tagging feature supported by CloudStack. I am not sure whether the tagging will be applicable for already deployed vms. You can give a try.
