will a vm be allocated to a host which has a host tag?

[sx chen <cl...@gmail.com>]

hi,
    all.
    If I have 10 hosts. 5 with host tag "hosttag1",5 without host tag.
    I also have two computer offering.A with hosttags 'hosttag1',B without
hosttags.
    If I use A to create a vm,certainly I know the hosttags will be
allocated into hosts with tag.
    So,My question is: If I use B to create a vm, will it be allocated to
host with tags?
    Another question is, System vm will be allocated which place?


    Base on my test, If I use B to create a vm, it will be allocated to
host without tags defaultly.
    But if 5 host without host tag has no more vCPU or ram, what will
happen?

System VM can be allocated to any host.  To force a system VM to a host with a certain tag, you have edit the row for that system vm's offering to add the tag.  Currently there's no api to add a tag to system vm's service offerings.
